Design a device which performs temperature calibration in a deep well plate to ensure the integrity of Hamilton Heater Shakers.

Project Overview

Hamilton Heat Shakers are commonly used in lab settings to mix patients samples and reagents. Deep well plates hold 96 samples at a time and can differ in volume. Temperature calibration within these shakers plays a vital role to ensure the samples reach the desired temperature for a certain amount of time. Currently, the temperature calibration mechanism uses thermocouples that are directly connected to a laptop running LabView software. Our goal is to modify this system by using thermistors along with a wireless communication system. This will allow the temperature readings to be available from everywhere, not just inside the lab.
