# Turbidostat
 
 
A turbidostat is a machine capable of maintaining the optical density, or turbidity, of a cell culture in liquid medium. Brian Ingalls, one of the principal investigators supervising the Waterloo iGEM team, commissioned Mark Soric, an associate of the lab, to make a turbidostat from scratch for use in the Ingalls lab.
 
 
Turbidostats are not widely available on the market, and at present there are few if any companies capable of tailor-making them for use in a lab. Mark Soric aimed to start a company with this goal, and was for a time stationed in the Velocity Garage incubator in Kitchener. At present, the first generation of his design is in the Ingalls lab, with the second generation design currently under construction.
