The present invention relates to the field of culturing of biological samples and in one form provides feedback in a biological sample culturing system to improve the viability of biological samples wherein the feedback comprises one or a combination of: measuring and manipulating environmental parameters operatively associated with the biological sample culturing system, and; measuring and manipulating culturing media parameters operatively associated with the biological sample culturing system. In another form the invention provides control of the culturing of biological samples in a biological sample culturing system comprising the steps of: mixing individual culture media components in response to one of a predetermined user selection or a predetermined user profile; dispensing the mixed media components into a preselected culturing pod containing at least one biological sample; providing feedback for the mixing step by measuring one or a combination of environmental parameters and culturing media parameters of the at least one biological sample.
