Our dry incubator was specifically designed to heat up only the lower part of the test tube (enrichment broth) while the upper part (biosafety cap with the AquaSpark™ tablet) remains at ambient temperature. Using a microbiological incubator (whole racks of tubes incubated, compare Figure 2 below) will expose the tablet to higher temperatures and might alter the accuracy of your test. Therefore, NEMIS only guarantees accurate test performance for the use of the NEMIS dry bath incubator.
