We have a Precision incubator that we keep at 20 C and a fischer scientific
for 4 C. I have also had collegeues use succesfully wine cooling cabinets
(as others have suggested). Another suggestion in an effort to keep the
temperature from fluctuating around your tray would be stacking your plates
We learnt from Flip Hoedemakers that wine is supposed to be kept at
constant temperature without vibrations and that wine coolers make very
fine crystal incubators.
Few years ago we bought three wine coolers at a local shop and they work
well (for growing crystals that is). It is worthwhile to chec
Hello,
I have a slightly different suggestion which we have found works best
and cheap. We have taken old (non-working) refrigerators and place them
inside the cold rooms *"but never power them"*. Since they are
refrigerators they have a good insulation to start with , have trays to
place crys

Dear CCP4bb members,
We are planning to buy an incubator for 4deg crystallizations. Currently
we are using our cold room, but the temperature deviates a lot when
people go in and out of there and the fan is quite strong. Does anyone
have one to recommend?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Catrine
Dear Alexandra,
we are using the VELP FOC incubators
(http://www.velp.com/en/product/5/Environment_line/101/Refrigerated_incubators/143/FOC_225I/)
around 2000 Euros.

Dear Alexandra,
I bought this one recently and it is very nice. Very low vibration and
enough space for about 25 24-well plates plus maybe 50 96-well plates.
The only problem I had is that in my case the temperature reading on the
external LCD display is slightly off compared to the 'real' te
Hello everyone:
I know this question has been posted before, but what models of
crystal growth incubators do you recommend? I was thinking of a
smaller benchtop incubator. I have found this from Torrey Pines
Scientific,
EchoTherm Chilling Incubator, Digital, Bench Top, Programmable,
115VA
