That which incubates, especially, an apparatus by means of which eggs are hatched by artificial heat.
An apparatus containing an enclosed chamber, used for the cultivation of microörganisms or tissue cultures by maintaining a suitable temperature and atmospheric composition. Some incubators have no provision for maintaining a special atmosphere, while in others, especially for anaerobic organisms and tissue culture, the moisture level and composition of the gases are also controlled.
An apparatus consisting of enclosed chamber, for maintaining prematurely born babies in a favorable environment until able to thrive under normal conditions. The temperature and level of oxygen in the atmosphere may be controlled.
Babies are placed in this clear plastic crib to keep them warm and protect them from germs and noise.
Boxlike laboratory machine for maintaining cultures of cells at a constant temperature so that they will grow.
A container with the proper humidity and temperature to allow fertile eggs to hatch.
A device to keep microbiological specimens at a particular constant temperature, thus encouraging bacterial or fungal growth. Used in spore testing.
Apparatus used to hatch eggs by supplying heat and humidity artificially
An apparatus which microorganisms are cultivated in.
A clear plastic crib that keeps babies warm and helps protect them from germs and noise.
A box-like apparatus in which premature babies are kept at a constant and suitable temperature.
Often referred to as an Isolette(tm), an enclosed clear plastic housing that provides a heated and sheltered environment for the care of infants that are too small or sick to maintain their own body temperature. The heat adjusts automatically to keep an infant's body temperature constant. (See also: radiant warmer)
apparatus consisting of a box designed to maintain a constant temperature by the use of a thermostat; used for chicks or premature infants
a device that maintains controlled environmental conditions, including proper oxygenation, humidity and temperature
a large device in which the temperature, humidity, and air flow are carefully controlled
a machine that can do the job of a hen in hatching eggs
an enclosure having controlled temperature, humidity, and ventilation
a special cabinet that keeps the baby warm and supplied with warm, moist air
Used in SCBU to regulate baby’s body temperature. It controls the temperature, humidity and oxygen level around the baby.
A machine used to hatch eggs by emulating the mother bird. The eggs are kept warm, turned each day and even allowed to cool very slightly to simulate the mother bird getting up to feed.
machine used to keep eggs warm so that baby chicks will hatch from them.
A type of enclosed bed for an infant who is not mature enough to maintain his or her temperature in an open bed.
Closed unit for keeping preterm babies in a warm, moist and - if necessary - oxygen-enriched environment.
a box or chamber for hatching eggs by keeping them warm
An artificially heated container for hatching eggs. In a still-air incubator the air is not circulated mechanically. Forced-air incubators have a fan or fans to circulate the air.
a machine designed to keep eggs at the correct temperature until they hatch
An incubator is a device which maintains controlled environmental conditions, especially used for providing warmth and dryness. Some incubators are specifically designed for cultivating cell cultures and bacteria in Petri dishes. Others are designed for hatching eggs or for protecting animal or human infants.
Enclosed beds for the babies that are temperature controlled for babies who cannot maintain or regulate their own temperatures.
A mechanical device for hatching fertile eggs.
In microbiology, an incubator is a device for controlling the temperature, humidity, and other conditions in which a microbiological culture is being grown. The simplest incubators are insulated boxes with an adjustable heater, typically going up to 60 to 65 °C (140 to 150 °F), though some can go slightly higher (generally to no more than 100 °C). More elaborate incubators can also include the ability to lower the temperature (via refrigeration), or the ability to control humidity or CO2 levels.
