Isolation and lack of electricity hinders the mobile clinic’s ability to do testing through centrifugation.   https://mercureaace2013.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/w11-1.png Purpose Create a new design that is able to satisfy the hematocrit protocols. Improve issues concerning the centrifuge weight, aerodynamics and ergonomic concerns. Finished project will be an easy-to-use and lightweight centrifuge that will effectively assist the H.O.P.E. mobile clinics and the citizens of Haiti.
