1.Making time for science with PerkinElmer
“If you knew time as well as I do” said the Hatter “you wouldn’t talk about wasting it.” As well as hosting the best tea parties, Alice’s old friend puts his finger on one of the biggest problems organisations of all sizes face: wasted time. To help give time back to scientists in labs around the world, PerkinElmer created OneSource – a suite of comprehensive solutions to help lab leaders focus on what’s most important to them: science. We worked closely with PerkinElmer to visually bring to life how OneSource can maximise lab efficiency and return time to scientists to do what they do best.
