Eppendorf Rack

Prototype 1

 

This design is too unstable.

Model for testing purposes

We did several refinements to the hole size to ensure a good fit (not too tight and not too loose). The staircase model was not our prototype but we used it to recognise the different diameters of each hole.

 

Prototype 2

This prototype was designed to allow the Eppendorf tubes to fit into a particular orientation when we place it in any orientation. However, we decided not to use this design because it did not work as expected.

Prototype 3

This prototype has the right size and dimension. However, we decided to reprint the model and incorporate it directly to the base. See Micropipette & Microsyringe system base to view the final design of the base.
