BioRoot.org provides laboratories with accounts that they control through which they can make it known that they have excess reagents available that other labs can put to use. This free service of a non-profit organization seeks to save time, increase efficiency, and eliminate waste among labs where transient personnel, isolated locations, and disorganization can be costly to progress as well as budgets.
The service networks projects, reagents, batches, and people using principles from information and biological sciences:
BioRoot is smart!: The BioReagent LIMS is being designed and built by molecular biologists and computer scientists. Its principle developer has worked for over 13 years on the bench as a technician, graduate student, and postdoctoral fellow studying mammalian cell biology, yeast genetics, protein biochemistry, and bioinformatics.
