+### Abstract // TODO: add final version
+Experiments involving bacterial cell growth are limited by tedious manual tasks such as cell density measurements and growth medium addition. To overcome these issues, we developed a highly customizable, extendable and cost-efficient bioreactor. Independent flasks for cell growth are integrated with temperature control, continuous OD measurement using our self-built OD sensors and peristaltic pumps. 
+
+Complementary software allows implementation of new experimental setups, custom control and monitoring mechanisms. Remote access and alerts permit unsupervised, long-term experiments. Collected data from ongoing experiments can be used to determine parameters such as growth rates which in turn can be used to make predictions and adjust growth conditions accordingly. 
+Hardware design, software and documentation are freely available.
+
+Our prototype was of great use for our long term and large volume experiments which led to multiple iterations of hardware and software improvements.This reactor is a valuable tool that significantly increases efficiency and experiment reproducibility.
