Project Overview

Technicians in a local commercial laboratory repetitively shake, by hand, lipid samples containing 30 tubes per batch. This fatiguing manual task results in pain and discomfort in the wrists and arms, muscle fatigue and increased risk of injuries. An electromechanical device is needed that would automatically and simultaneously shake the samples at the proper rate, direction and intensity, without disrupting, and possibly improving, the technicians' workflow. Chemical testing of the shaken samples would need to demonstrate that the mix met the required standards.
