System and method of metastable state mixing

A system, comprising:

• a spores container to store a solution of spores;
• a nutrient container to store a solution of nutrients;
• a water source;
• a syringe pump comprising a tank, the tank being configured to receive a volume of the solution of spores, a volume of the solution of nutrients, and a volume of water;
• a heater to heat a mixture of the solution of spores, the volume of the solution of nutrients, and the volume of water in the tank;
• an adjustable valve configured to controllably open and close a first channel from the tank to the spores container, a second channel from the tank to the nutrient container, and a third channel from the tank to the water source;
• and
• a controller configured to control a sequence of operations among the adjustable valve and the syringe pump to form and activate a dosage of the mixture, the syringe pump being configured to draw the volume of the solution of spores, the volume of the solution of nutrients, and the volume of water from the adjustable valve and into the tank, the syringe pump being configured to expel the mixture from the tank to the adjustable valve, the controller being configured to determine a set temperature for the heater based at least in part on reaching a desired temperature for the mixture in the tank within a particular period of time.
