Open-source design will democratize this tool
The goals of validating a rugged, portable incubator and proving that it can be made cheaply with modern 3D printing and electronics technology and published as an open-source device will democratize this technology worldwide, ensuring that the incubator is affordable to build and operate while being widely accessible to diverse communities around the world.
Waiting for lab results is slowing science down! We are designing a fully open source portable incubator that will speed up field work in the life sciences. It will provide rugged and reliable results outside of a laboratory to cultivate various microbes. This includes testing for E. coli as a marker for fecal contamination in drinking water, a leading cause of death in children worldwide. The grant will allow us to build 5 prototypes and test them for usability, portability, and ruggedness.
