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 the "defrost". Initial thought was to use an Arduino Nano with a temperature sensor which can read the temperature however there is no memory storage. So the new design will use an ESP32 controller board that can read a memory stick. That way we could read the temperture let's say everyminute and plot it. We expect thatwhile the normal temp is about -20 Celsius it will increase to maybe 10 Cesius. The other challenge is to power the temperature logger as we cannot run cables from outside without corruptin the measurements. Maybe we could use a phone power bank that can be placed in the refrigerator.

About This Project

Temperature-sensitive reagents are common in biology labs, and often
need to be stored in expensive ultra low temperature ULT refrigerators.
This is one of the highest cost barriers to setting up a biology lab and
makes research incredibly difficult in low resource settings. An enzyme
cooler stored within a standard freezer can be a viable alternative. We
plan to design, build, and test an open-source enzyme cooler that can be
built for as little as $25 without sacrificing performance.
