incubateurs
Incubateurs, or incubators, are devices or programs designed to maintain controlled conditions that promote growth or development. In biology and medicine, incubators are temperature- and humidity-controlled devices used to culture cells, propagate microbes, or rear embryos. They provide stable environmental parameters, often including CO2 regulation and sterile operation, to support experiments and clinical workflows. Neonatal incubators are bedside enclosures for premature or ill newborns, delivering warmth and continuous monitoring to reduce hypothermia risk.
In agriculture, poultry and hatchery operations use incubators to hatch eggs by maintaining precise temperature, humidity,
Economic incubators are usually run by universities, research institutes, cities, or private organizations, aiming to increase
The term derives from the idea of incubating growth until maturation. See also neonatal care, cell culture
