We are creating a product to wirelessly measure the temperature of a Hamilton Heater Shaker for calibration purposes.

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 grounded thermocouples along with a wireless communication system. This will allow the temperature readings to be available from everywhere, not just inside the lab.
