business and finance food industryWhat is the main difference between incubator and oven?
Furthermore, can you use an oven as an incubator?
Use an oven as a fermentationincubatorwithout a temperature controller. Some ovenscan simply beset to an appropriately low temperature and ifso they are a greatoption. If, like mine, your oven has aminimum temperaturethat is too high (mine is 140F), you canstill usethat oven effectively.
Keeping this in consideration, what is the difference between incubator and BOD Incubator?
BOD incubator is different fornormalincubator. Incubation is the length of time inwhichhumidity, temperature, among other environmental factorsareutilized to provide the required growth and development levelofmicrobial culture. Therefore, an incubator is a devicewhichallows the incubation process to occur.
Hot air ovens are electrical devices which usedryheat to sterilize. They were originally developed byPasteur.Generally, they use a thermostat to control thetemperature. Theirdouble walled insulation keeps the heat in andconserves energy,the inner layer being a poor conductor and outerlayer beingmetallic.
