Abstract

An incubator with an external gas feed is disclosed, wherein a gas is supplied to an interior space of the incubator to maintain an interior atmosphere with a constant gas-to-air ratio. The gas is supplied to the interior space through a gas nozzle forming a gas jet. The gas jet draws in the interior atmosphere through an injector effect, thereby thoroughly mixing the gas with the interior atmosphere.
