Whilst growth chambers for the cultivation of plants are widely available in a variety of configurations, from the simple cold frame to advanced climate control devices, they are generally unsuitable for growing small lower plants such as marchantia in a scientific setting. The reason for this is two-fold; as commercially produced growth chambers are usually designed to grow higher plants such as wheat, they are typically very large pieces of equipment. Furthermore, growth chambers with the ability to perform active climate control are costly and have a much greater feature set than is required for the controlled cultivation of marchantia. In light of this, the problem statement for the Marchantia Growth Facility (MGF) was given as follows; The task is to create a low cost device capable of cultivating marchantia by controlling the light and air flow to the plants. In addition, the device must prevent the growth of other organisms CAD Files for the incubator go here Description of incubator hardware Description of the incubator software goes here Assembly instructions for the incubator Brief for the pipette counter Brief for gel former jig CAD files for the gel former Description of the gel former jig Assembly instructions for the gel former jigGrowth Chamber
