I used this incubator during my transformation experiments when I needed to grow hundreds of bacterial culture plates at a specific temperature. This incubator was great in working with and practicing the growth of bacteria. There was no contamination spread and I got nice culture growth even after keeping hundreds of plates for 2-3 days. There is an easy controller for setting up the various parameters. It was a life-saving instrument for me when I needed my culture to be ready for a specific duration. Without a doubt I will recommend this product for use in micro or bacterial culture experiments. I have one issue with this instrument though, which is you can't set different temperatures for different bacterial cultures, so even if you have empty space, you won’t be able to incubate all your plates at once if they require a different temperature for growth.
