[Drosophila] Cheap tritech Incubators

[Iannacone, Eric]

Greetings,
      I am doing sciences on a tight budget so I ordered a 
32 lt incubator($1,200) from TriTech Research.  When it 
arrived it was actually an "Igloo" brand cooler 
retrofitted with a piezo-electro cooling unit.  It has 
worked o.k. so far, but the cooling unit drips, so I 
rigged a drip tray so I no longer have vials full of 
drowned flies.  If you are not under severe financial 
restrictions I would avoid ordering TriTech incubators.
