More design and testing
The first option is under testing using first testing strategy . Not surprisingly, we know that measurements are affected by the measuring action. This makes this project difficult because the para...
First option prototype
We decided to try several options. The first option is to try is a combination 3d print and metal where the 3D print is waterproofed with liquid plastic. We designed and printed the tube holder as ...
Baseline findings
We did a freezer temperature log for six days. We found that there are about there types of events: a ripple from -21 to -17 Celsius that repeats in a non totally regular manner about every hour. ...
Measuring the baseline. Creating the automated temperature measurement system
In order to test the system we needed to be able to log the temperatures in a normal freezer to create a base-line to evaluate the final product.Initially we planned to use an Arduino system how ev...
Postponing the project
We submitted two projects that got accepted by Experiment. We were thinking to run them in parallel however at this point we'll pursue only the cold preservation project and postpone the magnetic s...
Motivation
When working in a large institute I noticed the temperature sensitive biologicals were stored in a -80 Freezer. When trying to start a basic lab I discovered a -80 freezer costs about 15K, weights ...
To start with
At this point we started to assemble the temerature logger. We need to place that in a normal "frost free fridge" refrigerator and monitor the temperature to understand how wormer it gets during th...
Extended use
Extended useBesides storage, the device can also used for short term transportation and workbench top storage during the duration of an experiment. So we will extend the testing scope to include th...
The initial phase of this experiment will be done as three projects. An incubator, an orbital shaker, a new magnetic bead based purification process. They will be unit tested separately. At a later phase they will be integrated, first the incubator a...
