This project was the design of a simple biological incubator based on an Arduino microcontroller, a temperature sensor, and a heating element. The purpose of the incubator is to have constant and proper temperature that would support the preservation of biological samples. The system was coded to automatically control heat and maintain the temperature at the range of desired temperatures.
Performance test was done to determine the capacity of the incubator to attain target temperature and its stability within a specific duration. The outcomes revealed that the system was able to maintain the necessary temperature with the slightest variation. The overall mean temperature measured and the values of the deviation show that the incubator is a stable and controlled system to be used in basic biological applications.
