I've used cheap Peltier incubators in the past (when funds were scarse) and
they were just fine - with the caveat that the incubators I used were small
-- basically they were portable beer coolers with a temperature controller
(made by Koolatron). First thing I did was to check the temperature and it
usually returned to normal within minutes after closing the lid.

+ PS3 temperature controller (factory installed from the same company)
I clearly have no association with Koolatron, however if they want to send
me free beer - that's always good!

Subject: [ccp4bb] Peltier Crystallisation Incubators
Dear all,
Has anyone got experience with Peltier Crystallisation Incubators?
According to manufacturers' info they should be OK for small volumes.
I have some doubts regarding their effieciency when you open one say
ten times a day for one minute how quick they cope with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jan Dohnalek
