Abstract
The purpose of this project is to build automated fluidic and pressure control devices to accelerate the immunohistology processing speed of mouse brain tissues. Its success would enable the rest of the lab to analyze brain samples more quickly. We designed and prototyped two devices. One can automatically empty and refill solution in a reaction chamber so that excess chemicals will not be wasted in the tissue clearing process, and the other one can monitor and control the pressure within a reactor to enable pressure-aided antibody penetration.
