Re: [DIYbio] Access to an incubator and bench space in Northern Virgina ?

Check the temperature behind your refrigerator/freezer radiator.  Usually pretty warm.  Put the plates in a sand-which baggy so they won't get desiccated or contaminated from blowing hot dusty air.  Otherwise get a big cooler, heat a gallon or 2 of water to 40C and dump it in.  Put the petri dishes on a pizza rack or something else to keep them out of the water.  Condensation inside the plates from excess moisture could be a problem there.  However should be a decent thermal mass and hold ~37C overnight at least. 

Get creative.  Don't let a 37C heat-box stop you from science!

Dear all,

          Sadly, I don't have an incubator in my lab at home.  I need to do a plasmid maxiprep, extraction and purification from e-coli. Anyone know of any open access labs close to  washington DC ? Otherwise it' s "wait for an incubator to appear on ebay" ......

Many thanks,

Simon
