  Dear Colleagues,

  What is the best oven for conducting stability testing? Could you use an egg incubator?

  Well I should say which oven would you suggest for conducting stability testing for someone on a budget?

  I bought a second hand Binder. Works perfect, but as Bobzchemist stated you need to be a bit more precise. How large? Is it for professional use?

  It would be for professional use and due to being limited on space a small counter top one would be great. Similar to the one you purchased David.

  For a cheap option, try a reptile egg incubator.
