Instructions:
Build some prototypes. Your prototypes may be focused or comprehensive, analytical or physical. At this point in the design process you are probably most concerned with answering the question “Will it work?”
Response:
My gap is concerned with the design of a better gas chromatography oven. This turned out to be a bigger job than I thought, so my prototypes are rather minor improvements rather than a large redesign.

Column Guide: (F)
This little device should help to pass capillary columns (0.3 mm glass tubing) through oven walls. The hollow tube of the body will guide the column or transfer line through the glass wool of the oven wall.
Snake light: (B)
When mounted near the front of a gas chromatograph oven, this snake light, which can be twisted to point in any direction, can be used to illuminate any part that is being worked on. Note the ultrabright LED mounted at the end of the helical cable 'snake.'
Door-mounted column: (J)
My prototype of my door mounted column. The inlet, detector and column will be mounted on the semicircular portion on the open door. A focused, analytical prototype.
