Hello everyone!
This is Yagiz, Public Lab fellow for the Oil Testing Kit Beta Program (link). You may have seen hints of this across the site in recent weeks, but today, Public Lab is formally launching the new Oil Testing Kit Public Beta Program.
Public Lab is offering prototype laser-cut versions of the new Oil Testing Kit free of charge for 20 people interested in helping test and refine the kit. This is an exciting opportunity to help improve our prototype DIY methods for classifying unknown petroleum samples. Our eventual goal is for this kit to be usable to test and compare oil spill residues, and we need your help!
Anyone can join the Beta Program, no experience required, you just need time to assemble the kit, use it (please see obligations on the sign-up wiki) and troubleshoot.
Lets work together on making this kit even better! Check out the Beta Kit program and sign up to participate here.
