This is a Portable Thermostatic Bath in order to keep constant temperature for biological samples for a short time.

Hardware BOM:

• 1 x Arduino Uno board
• 1 x prototyping board (any size fit in space)
• 1 x prototyping board 80 mm x 20 mm
• 1 x 100 KOhm thermistor (the one used for 3d printers is ok)
• 1 x Transistor TIP 120
• 1 x 100 KOhm resistor
• 1 x 10 Ohm resistor
• 12 x 330 Ohm resistors
• 1 x 9V battery
• wires and soldering tools

Follow these two excellent tutorials to make the thermistor (http://www.circuitbasics.com/arduino-thermistor-temperature-sensor-tutorial/ ) and heater (https://www.alanzucconi.com/2016/08/02/arduino-heater-1/) parts. Blend the two Arduino codes in order to reach the desired behaviour.
