Online learning classes create demand for do-it-at-home lab kits - George Plaven, The Denver Post
With online education and virtual classrooms becoming more popular, an Englewood-based company is helping to bridge the gap between home-based education and laboratory experience. Hands-On Labs Inc., through a product line called LabPaqs, has adapted laboratory experiments to a smaller scale that fits in a cardboard box and can be mailed to students. The company recently relocated to a larger facility to accommodate its rapid growth and has struck a deal with a major publisher. LabPaq products range from micro- chemistry sets to kits that allow students to dissect fetal pigs in their kitchens.
