2 to keep something warm, causing it to develop, esp. to keep eggs warm until the young are born: --
Samples containing distilled water alone (blank) and others spiked with faecal material were also incubated in order to assess the effectiveness of the incubation phase.
In order to investigate the mechanism of triclabendazole resistance, triclabendazole-susceptible and triclabendazole-resistant flukes were incubated in vitro with triclabendazole sulphoxide (50 g\ml).
The nematode was incubated in ivermectin for a total period of 30 min ; spike activity was recorded for the last 2 min of this period.
The flask was incubated for a period depending on ambient temperature.
Blots were incubated overnight with the various test sera.
The plates were incubated at room temperature for 60 min and washed before a substrate solution was added.
The plate was incubated for 1.5 h at room temperature.
The cultures were incubated and colony diameters of the fungi were measured at regular intervals.
