Somewhere over the Spectroscopic Rainbow

It takes a bit of careful scrutiny with the spectroscope I constructed but in the future a better version will be constructed but hey for under $5 I'll put in the effort.

Ha! See that Calcium I told you we had HARD water lol!

Identified emission spectrum of a few key elements to RL-1.2-LAZARUS growth 

Nitrogen for amino acid formation /catalyzation

Phosphorus for forming amino acids which make up Critical proteins in chromosomal makeup. 

Sulphur for  DNA replication/ growth

Common laboratory safety gear .. jk!

Environmental factors

Basically two types of factors that impact this research are Environmental and Internal Factors.

Environmental factors include 

Incubator TEMP in C

Vessel TEMP in C

Vessel weight in grams

These are outside variables that must be diligently monitored else they will definitely affect internal factors.

Internal Factors

Internal Factors include

Yeast TEMP in C

Brix % of available sugar

SG specific gravity

pH measures acidity or alkalinity. 

-microscopic analysis of cells

-spectroscopic analysis to verify presence of key elements.

Today's Chemo Analysis:

Environmental 

Incubator temp: 22.8 C

Diff since last : -6.3 C

Vessel TEMP:22.8 C

Diff since last: +0.3C

Internal

Yeast TEMP: 22.2 C

Diff since last: -2.6C

BRIX: 6.3%

Diff since last: -6.8%

SG:1.025

Diff since last: - 0.028

pH: 4.8

Diff since last: 0

Our yeast is doing awesome the amylose addition last session really helped!
