Sanraj's and Xuan Wei's experience ( Week 1 Batteries):
Today we did not do a lot of practical work. Instead, we did more theoretical work such as finding out how to improve on batteries and how we could implement this in our presentation. Supposedly, our mentor was supposed to take us to other facilities in MSE but it got cancelled :(. However, it is now pushed to Thursday and we can't wait for it to come.
Jun Yang's and Ying li's experience (Week 1 Drug Coating):
Dynamic Model Experiment
Today we were able to look at the dynamic fluid experiment set up. It was to test the permeability of the hydrogel that we created in house.
A peristaltic pump was used to pump water consistently into the system to mimic the bodies' urine flow in the ureter

Mold to hold the hydrogel while it sets

Permegear
the hydrogel is then clamped here to test its permeability to water.

We then went to observe how to measure the permeability of materials at the Ocular Therapeutic Engineering Centre, where we also learnt more about various equipment used for cell work. Our mentor shared with us the methods used in cell work and about what each equipment does.
But first, we had to put on proper lab gear which included a cap and protective overshoes
