PCR Machine Improvements

Design Goals:
Expand Sample Size; which will increase efficiency
Add Tabs to the Bottom of the Lid; this will make it so that the user knows when the lid is on completely without crushing the samples.

Thermal Cycler Engineering

Our re-design is based upon the Open PCR system originally designed by Josh Perfetto and Tito Jankowski.
