OUR COMPANY
LAB 6 WRITE-UPComputer-Aided DesignTinkerCAD The TinkerCAD tools we used in this lab were the Capsule by Marrisa, and the Banana by Rob Walch. The use of the Capsules is to indicate the amount of a substance that is in the tube by putting three lines on one side of the tube. These lines were added as a measurement tool. Lastly, the Banana tool was used to connect the tubes together to help keep them organized.
One possible way TinkerCAD is used is to redesign objects to work and perform better. One example of this would be redesigning a camera holder. Maybe the camera holder doesnt fit all cameras. TinkerCAD can help one redesign it and create a holder which can transform to the cameras shape. This would allow the product to work and perform better.
Feature 1: Cancer SNP-Specific Primers[Instructions: This information will come from the Week 9 exercises you did in lab. Your notes should be in a pdf file that is saved on Blackboard under your group.] Background on the cancer-associated mutation [Instructions: Use the answers from questions 3, 4, 5, and 7 to compose, in your own words, a paragraph about rs17879961]
Primer design
How the primers work: [Instructions: explain what makes the primers cancer-sequence specific. In other words, explain why the primers will amplify DNA that contains the cancer-associated SNP rs17879961, and will not exponentially amplify DNA that has the non-cancer allele.]
Feature 2: Consumables Kit[Instructions: Summarize how the consumables will be packaged in your kit. You may add a schematic image. An image is OPTIONAL and will not get bonus points, but it will make your report look awesome and easy to score.] [Instructions: IF your consumables packaging plan addresses any major weakness discussed by your group or mentioned by others (see the Virtual Comment Board Powerpoint files on Blackboard, Lab Week 12) explain how in an additional paragraph.]
Feature 3: PCR Machine Hardware[Instructions: Summarize how you will include the PCR machine in your system. You may add a schematic image. An image is OPTIONAL and will not get bonus points, but it will make your report look really awesome and easy to score.] [Instructions: IF your group has decided to redesign the PCR machine to address any major weakness discussed by your group or mentioned by others (see the Virtual Comment Board Powerpoint files on Blackboard, Lab Week 12) explain how in an additional paragraph.]
Feature 4: Fluorimeter Hardware[In our system, the fluorimeter will be utilized in the same way, to help detect the concentration of specific DNA in a sample. The slides used with the fluorimeter will remain the same as they did and adequate job in holding the liquid samples in a droplet form in order for it to be analyzed well.] [Unlike other fluorimeters, our design will make it easier to adjust and hold the camera phone in place. First of all, the phone holder will be attached to the fluorimeter so that the camera will always be at a constant distance form the fluorimeter without having to constantly adjust. The distance will also be adjustable so it can suit any camera. Another thing that will be better in our design is the camera holder itself. We will make it adjustable in height so that one may position the camera where they want to. The holder will have clamps to hold the phone in place that are adjustable in width. This will make it so that any phone or camera may be used with our product without any difficulties in set up.]
Bonus Opportunity: What Bayesian Stats Imply About The BME100 Diagnostic Approach[Instructions: This section is OPTIONAL, and will get bonus points if answered thoroughly and correctly. Here is a chance to flex some intellectual muscle. In your own words, discuss what the results for calculations 3 and 4 imply about the reliability of CHEK2 PCR for predicting cancer. Please do NOT type the actual numerical values here. Just refer to them as being "less than one" or "very small." The instructors will ask you to submit your actual calculations via e-mail. We are doing so for the sake of academic integrity and to curb any temptation to cheat.] |
