Abstract

A transport container particularly for use as an incubator comprises a housing having an interior substantially vertical wall and a substantially horizontal wall with a support structure mounted in the housing spaced from the vertical wall and the horizontal wall so as to define a convection passage below and on one side of the support. The convection passage contains means for suspending one or more heating elements in the passage. The heating elements may comprise of preheatable plates, water containers, etc. or each storage material, for example salts or other substances which change in structure when passing through a critical point so as to provide a latent heat for aiding and heating the area overlying the support structure.
