Incubator Working Principle

The working principle of an incubator is to maintain a temperature within a specified range. Temperature is controlled by a temperature controller, temperature sensor, or both. Different microorganisms require different temperatures to grow. The temperature inside the incubator is kept at a certain level using a thermometer and an incubator's fans. Humidity is maintained by humidifier Incubators come with several different ways to control the humidity level. One simple way is to add water to the incubator. If you have built the incubator yourself, be sure to use a water tray that has about half as much surface area as the egg tray. Another option is to add a cloth or sponge to the incubator's interior. This will increase the amount of surface area for water to be absorbed.
