The Impact: <p>Extend consumable lifespan ultimately reducing waste and save money in the process</p>
Details
Finding a balance between sustainability and maintaining research quality and viability is an important factor to consider. Often researchers may opt for more wasteful protocols by practising caution with their consumable use, but it is good practice to assess protocols for optimisation that retains best research outcomes, while considering sustainabilty.
In fly maintenance protocols you can consider extending flipping schedules for stock collections as much as possible while still ensuring stock viability.
