I wish people did this all the time. Good biochemical validation is also appreciated!

Always!

⬆️Just upload your plasmid sequence. ORFs can be detected automatically or defined manually, and the tool checks whether the construct correctly encodes the intended protein for downstream expression or other applications.

Try it and streamline your verification workflow. ✅

Amazing idea by @sophiero.bsky.social and implemented in just three days.

✅ Benefits:
Fast: takes seconds
Context-aware: order reagents where you actually use them
Reliable: less chance of forgetting to order later
🛠️ Implementation details:
We use NFC tags programmed with URLs that call our Cloudflare Worker. The Worker authenticates & sends the request to Quartzy’s API.

📱 The idea:
What if a physical action—like tapping a reagent bottle with your phone—could trigger the digital ordering process directly?
🔗 Our solution:
Each common reagent gets an NFC tag
Tap the tag with your phone
The tag hits a Cloudflare Worker
The Worker submits the order request to Quartzy

🧪 The problem:
Labs constantly run out of common reagents. But ordering them is tedious—usually you need a computer, login, and multiple clicks. Often you realize something is low while you’re at the bench, not at your desk.
