Title:
Tube Cleaning Device
Abstract:
This team was tasked with designing a device to clean test tubes used for conducting experiments pertaining to genetics and fruit flies. The device that we developed will clean 72 test tubes per batch using a row of brushes to agitate the material inside the test tube, and a row of water jets that shoot streams of water to remove the material after it has been brushed. The device will fit inside of a typical lab sink. The primary goal of the device is to save staff in campus labs time cleaning test tubes.
