Prolinx Octave
Met the small 7"x7"x7" volume requirement of the instrument without building a physically larger initial proof-of-concept prototype due to tight timelines.
Used Pro/Engineer CAD tools to model all components down to the discrete component level including PCBs. Met all size requirements by judicious selection and manipulation of the mechanical components and by partitioning the circuit boards to optimize use of the limited volume.
Designed an instrument that agitated the liquid sample, provided light and temperature control, ensured fluid containment, and interfaced with an existing laboratory robot. Developed a limited-use cartridge for housing the solid-state surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chips.
