Jericho Laboratory

"in the future, scientific equipment will be cheaper than smartphones." despite all the progress we have made in recent decades, basic scientific tools, such as temperature data loggers, remain expensive. is it really necessary for a phd student to spend $1000 to log a few temperatures in a lab? can we justify spending $2000 to measure remotely the soil water content in a rice field? at jericho, our mission is to improve access to scientific equipment. we believe that by embracing the open source hardware movement and focusing on the core functionalities, we can reduce by at least 70% the cost of these products. our first product is a resistance data logger. the product is specifically geared toward temperature measurements, via thermistors, but it can accommodate most resistive sensors, as well as digital sensors (i2c), and it has two outputs dedicated to control signals. it can be controlled with a computer or an old smartphone. our product is made in canada and we calibrate oursel
