This week’s focus was on testing all the code for the H&E Stainer and ensuring that the device will work as intended when slides with samples are introduced. This was a fairly simple yet tedious process. However, I found that throughout the week I became more comfortable with working with g-code, a coding language I have never used before. Even before the week was over, I optimized the code to run smoothly. In order to make the device even more reliable and easy for a technician to use we printed off a second histology jar holder and an aligner for the histology jar holders. This gave the device enough tools to easily accommodate with the hospitals current H&E staining process. We feel that this device is quite promising, but we need to do the final testing which is to test the device with actual samples to ensure quality of the staining process.
