An incubator is an enclosed apparatus that provides an environment that is controlled for temperature and humidity, typically, though other parameters are also sometimes controlled. Incubators are generally associated with hatching eggs for poultry production or providing care and protection for premature or unusually small babies. Incubators are also commonly used in laboratory settings to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures.
