Update 4/17/19

Wet lab results:

   Last week's preparation (5.087 g PVA, 200mL water) did not set, so this week two dishes of 2g agarose in 200 mL water were prepared. One was stirred at 90 degrees Celsius for 120 seconds, while the other was stirred at 90 degrees Celsius for 300 seconds. Neither appeared to have set, but both were put into the refrigerator and will be remarked on next Wednesday.
