Incubators are essential for much experimental work in cell biology, microbiology and molecular biology and are used to culture both bacterial and eukaryotic cells. An incubator is made up of a chamber with a regulated temperature. Some incubators also regulate humidity, gas composition, or ventilation within that chamber.
A temperature-controlled shaker, as used in biochemistry work. A shaker is a piece of laboratory equipment used to mix, blend, or agitate substances in a tube or flask by shaking them. It is mainly used in the fields of chemistry and biology. A shaker contains an oscillating board that is used to place the flasks, beakers, or test tubes.
Inside a shaking water bath A water bath operating at 72°C. A water bath is laboratory equipment made from a container filled with heated water. It is used to incubate samples in water at a constant temperature over a long period of time.
The components of the GasPak envelope along with the addition of water, allow for the start of the reaction that takes place in the catalyst chamber. The sealed anaerobic jar is then incubated at a desired temperature to allow growth of the bacteria. In the above figure for example, the incubation occurred at 100 °F (38 °C).
Incubator: used for bacterial or fungal cultures Inoculation loop: used to inoculate test samples into culture media for bacterial or fungal cultures, antibiograms, etc. Sterilized by passing through a blue flame. Laminar flow cabinet: used to work aseptic Latex agglutination tiles: for serological analysis Lovibond comparator: a type of a ...
Drawing of the incubator used by Dallinger in his evolution experiments. One of the first to carry out a controlled evolution experiment was William Dallinger. In the late 19th century, he cultivated small unicellular organisms in a custom-built incubator over a time period of seven years (1880–1886). Dallinger slowly increased the ...
The most widely adopted paradigm for investigating incubation involves comparing problems on which participants take a break during solving with problems on which participants work for a continuous period. The total time spent on each problem is equated across the conditions, and the incubation period is usually filled with unrelated activity ...
A female mallard duck incubates her eggs. Egg incubation is the process by which an egg, of oviparous (egg-laying) animals, develops an embryo within the egg, after the egg's formation and ovipositional release.
