As the colonies grew, the need for some sort of optical instrument to observe them closely was evidenced. Reasonably, the next step was to build a microscope.

The first step to develop cell cultures in order to engage in biohacking experiments or feed a bioreactor is to find a way to optimize the colonies' growth and keep them thriving. Since we will be working with different types of microbiological material, it is desirable that parameters such as temperature and medium are adjustable.

Within the next months, this blog will document every step taken in order to comply with the guidelines of the Biohack Academy, ministered by the Waag Society. During this period, several devices will be built for experimental purposes, such as:
