An inexpensive shelf incubator has been designed to hold a number of petri dishes, each at a different temperature. The design diminishes a gradient across the dish, avoiding undesirable circulation of liquid media. The heat gradient between shelves is nearly linear except at the extreme "hot" end. Long-term experiments show very little fluctuation at each measured position.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
