THE BPS SPORE EXCHANGE : HOW DOES THE BPS SPORE EXCHANGE WORK?

摘要

We don't know what sort of concept you have of the Spore Exchange, If you imagine rows of gleaming fridges and neatly set out working areas maintaining dust-free and sterile conditions, think again. We have a somewhat ancient but fully functioning EPSfridge that keeps the spores at approximately 4 °C. We have been advised that fridges run most economically when full, as this evens out the temperature when the door is opened and closed. So we have installed temperature buffers in the form of severalbottles of Theakston's Old Peculiar' (strong Yorkshire ale to anyone unfortunate enough to live anywhere other than the centre of the universe!). The only down-side of this is the need for frequent replenishment to maintain efficiency as a thermal capacitor!
