              It takes the resources it takes. Can’t just go “we’re stopping doing science because it uses plastic, sorry everyone”.

                Yeah. True. I’m a programmer of those things and I make an effort to be as efficient as possible with tips, ie mixing with the same tip and compensating accuracy for it. It’s more difficult but worth the effort imo.

                Also reuse for things like reagents makes a big difference.
