Hi all!
I’m the only worm person in my lab and I need some sugestions. Currently we just own a 6cu feet fisher refrigerated incubator, and we are in need of an additional incubator. However we don’t need one as big as the one we currently have. Therefore I’m trying to look for reliable alternatives for worm incubators.
Can anyone help? :
thanks
Hello,
it would help, if you told where you are located :). I presume in the USA, so the following information may not be so useful.
Here in Europe, one can get incubators from Lovibond/Tintometer/Aqualytic (it’s the same machine) for very good prices.
VWR distributes them. They are basically converted refridgerators.

Another sometimes less expensive variant is to look in kitchen appliance stores for "wine refridgerators or cooled cabinets. Some can do 20 degrees.
Good luck
