It all started with a 3D printer placed in a flow cytometry core facility and all the exciting possibilities it could bring. Soon after, I found out that I had a knack for designing, innovating and creating things that filled gaps where otherwise the lab would just work around with.
Following a number of small designs that proved themselves very useful, the design or recreation of a scope that allows to view the laser intercept points became a breakthrough point. 3D printing became something that was more than a gimmick but an actual useful tool in helping the userbase of our flow cytometry core facility and after some work for other labs, I was told that this should be something that should be looked in as a business. This still took quite a bit to convince me of this but finally I made the push and set up LabMark3D to help fill the gaps for others.
