Week 2

This week in lab, the group met with their advisor and their lab fellow. During this meeting, the project was discussed. The group explained that the device was a sanitary pad that would detect the presence of amniotic fluid. The advisor and fellow expressed their areas of concern.

The areas of concern included the detection of amniotic fluid and possible false positives. These areas of concern will help the group determine the next steps that they need to take, in order to achieve the goal of delivering a working prototype.

During lab this week, the group also divided up research rolls for the next week, at least. It was determined that Ronnie and Jana would be in charge of deciding the best method to detect amniotic fluid. It was then determined that Elizabeth and Yifan would be in charge of researching the design of the pad, as well as the best materials to use.
