    I have a chance to purchase several “incubators” from a pharmaceutical auction. I want to use them for stability ovens. As long as they are able to achieve the desired temps I am assuming there shouldn’t be any issues. Any thoughts??? good bad ugly….

    We got our stability oven / incubator from one of these types of auctions over 10 years ago and it is still going strong.

    Just make sure that the maximum temperature of the incubator is a bit higher than the temperature you want to set it at.

      Cool thanks! They look the same and I remember working with similar ovens previous but never thought they were incubator.
