| Project: | Mouse Thigh Bone Holder (I) |
| Description: | Device to position mouse thigh bones in Eppendorf tubes for exctraction of marrow in a centrifuge |
| Skillset(s) : | |
| Project Type(s) : | |
A researcher from the University of Manitoba approached us to find an easier way to prep lab specimens. They needed to extract the marrow from a large number of mouse femurs. This required securing the mouse bone in a standing position in a centrifuge. We 3D modelled created a stand that fit into standard centrifuge tubes and could be easily and cheaply 3D printed.
The customer prepared a package to take this to some trade shows.
