Problem Statement:
Currently, reagents are added manually when testing cell signal functioning under a microscope. This leads to problems regarding accuracy of timing and amount. To resolve this issue, an automatic system is desired. This system will use pumps controlled by a computer interface to precisely deliver required reagents.
We have finished our prototype. We will be delivering it to our client this upcoming week. We will also be finishing our final report.
