Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
A new heater block was built. It has 3 different size holes to accommodate for different vial sizes. The block needs to be machined again because the holes are not compatible with the actual vials we received.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished prototype for magnetic stirrer with heater block.
