| − | While the research team was hard at work on the research paper, the building team focused on the construction of the mobile lab. I constructed a simple portable Incubator for the bacteria out of sun-board, mirror sheet and clear acrylic. Tushar and Sharukh worked on a simple Arduino Program to regulate the temperature in the incubator.
| |
| − | Apart from the incubator, a lot of other materials needed to be sourced for the construction of the mobile lab. <p>I scouted out various locations in the City for lab equipment, glassware, autoclavable plastics, chemicals and materials for the water sample collection kit.</p>
