Lab Sustainability
In the Skop Lab, sustainability is a value that we passionately uphold. We are dedicated to positively impacting our environment and conserving our resources through conscientious practices and incorporating sustainable thinking in our daily routines. We encourage every lab member to consider the environmental impact of their actions. This approach will help navigate certain inherent constraints in cell culture labs. We continuously seek innovative ways to become more eco-friendly.
