<p>The materials finalized for the construction of the mobile lab were 5mm opaque white acrylic for the body, 6 mm clear acrylic for the lid, and a combination of 5 mm white and 2 mm clear acrylic for the compartments within. Secondary packaging, for breakable glassware like test tubes, would be fabricated out of corrugated cardboard wrapped in cloth with elastic bands for secure hold.</p>
 
  
<p>Taking the width of the acrylic sheets and the gaps between compartments, the final uniform base size for each module was 513mm x 390 mm. Each module had this common base size, but slightly different heights, due to differing size of equipment.</p>
 
<p>I designed templates for each module on Adobe Illustrator and had the acrylic sheets taken to Kapson’s Glass for laser cutting. The different parts were soldered together with the use of chloroform, applied with a disposable syringe.</p>
