Abstract
Cell culture chambers and incubators are operated to grow cells under a wide variety of conditions. Where those conditions result in too rapid evaporation of the well media for low volume wells such as those found in 1536-well plates, a subchamber is provided to increase the local humidity so that media evaporation is controlled to an acceptable level. A local liquid source is provided. That liquid may be water or an isotonic solution matched to the well media for a particular application.
