[Histonet] incubator oven

[Va Paula Sicurello]

Hi Kris,

I think that a smallish lab oven would suffice.  If all you are doing is melting paraffins I think any of the ones from the major vendors (Fisher, VWR, etc.) would be good enough.

I do believe that those are still just ovens and don't have the air currents.
