These Eppendorf tubes can be very frustrating due to the problems that one has to face when dealing with them. When Eppendorf tubes are placed in rows on a rack, many times the caps overlap with another tube and results in a mess of tubes and caps.

We modified it to fit the caps that we molded. We have yet to incorporate the uncapping feature which is our next step. We were unable to prototype our capper in time, so we made a miniature model in order to fully visualize the components and get a better idea of how they work. text/html 2012-04-27T21:29:58-04:00 http://dap.cooper.edu/doku.php?id=start:classes:principlesofdesign:speedycapper_2012:final_tray_design&rev=1335576598&do=diff Final Tray Design Our final tray design allows the user to keep track of tubes. This tray still resembles trays that are currently found in labs, except ours has a piece of rubber in the middle. This then creates two heights that the tubes can be. A lower height means the tube has been used and the higher height means the tube is unused. This seems to be a feasible solution with a low manufacturing cost that would also be a non disruptive transition for lab researchers.

We came up with this design while trying to figure out how to create more space between each individual tubes so caps don't interfere with one another. Our solution was to create this collapsible tray that will allow the tubes to be on different levels so they will be further from one another. This also allows the tray to fold completely in order to take up less room in a lab allows for easier storage.

We brought the mold to the lab in order to create our new caps. After a few unsuccessful attempts, we were finally able to get some good caps. After testing these new caps on the eppendorf tubes, we have realised that they don't fit perfectly, and will probably need some slight modifications in the future. We have based the design of our capping system on the shape of these new caps.
