Thanks for all of the responses, there seems to be no real consensus, but I have discovered:
1 There are several small incubators supplied by - Molecular Dimensions, Revsci, Centeo 2 Good air conditioning may negate the need for an incubator. 3 A Glove box may not even be necessary depending on the samples sensitivity to oxygen. Certainly plenty for me to think about before I commit to buying a glove box. Yet again the bulletin board proves to be a great source of information for all things crystallographic!

I am looking to set up crystallisation in an anaerobic glove box and wondered how other people did this, specifically the crystallisation stage. My initial thoughts were to place a small crystallisation incubator inside the box, however the smallest I have come across so far (~27L) is still rather large. Has anyone come across smaller incubators? Alternatively are incubators even neccessary if the glove box is placed in a room with good air conditioning and stable temperature control? Any recommendations would be very helpful.
