11-Jul-2025 The Universitat Jaume I and Semicrol, S.L. transform scientific research with the reuse of biological samples Universitat Jaume I Reducing the number of animals used in experimentation is a key challenge in research. To address this issue, the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló and the company Semicrol, S.L. have developed aRukon, an innovative platform that facilitates the reuse of biological samples stored in laboratories around the world. aRukon has revolutionised the way researchers manage and share their samples. Its free sample manager is available globally and allows users to manage, catalogue and reuse tissues, biological fluids and genetic material. The platform optimises their use, guarantees traceability, improves storage and facilitates collaboration between scientists.
