Wanted to start a discussion/thread about adding new topics to either distribute work to people interested in helping out. I will continue to add and modify this post as ideas come up.
Topics of interest include:
- Sterilization of devices
- Making media Bottles
- Adding new experimental parameter
- Tips on making media, preparing for experiment
- Calculating growth rate/ other parameters with data
- Explaining SA board designs (one post for ADC, one for PWM)
- Explain why the polarity is switched on the photodiodes (from circuit design)
- How to design cap for media inputs?
- How to design new Smart Sleeve (for bigger volumes)?
- How to design and print new caps for fluidic input/outputs?
- Calibrations for temperature and optical density?
- How to feedback between parameters (as in tubidostat or morbidostat)
- OD600 vs OD900 scattering discussion (cell type dependence, etc.)
- What to do if an overflow happens
- Alternative media storage options (carboys etc.)
- Waste disposal options
- Running chemostat, how to setup, calibrate pumps, concerns?
