Most strains of C. elegans need to be maintained at 20°C, and so we store our strains in incubators. Make sure your plates are labeled when placed inside the incubators.
[Insert image of equipment here. To do this, take a picture of the reagent on the shelf, save it on to the shared computer 'mccormicklab1>Wiki-Documents and Figures> Pictures for WIki with a file name of “nameofequipment-image.png” . Select “Add images and other files” from above and upload your image. When the Link Settings tab pops up, select “Direct link to original”, “Align the image on the right” and “Medium Version”, then click insert. You may have to mess with the size and position. Please ensure that all images are facing the correct direction. ]

Notes and Warning: Make sure your plates are labeled when placed inside the incubators.
Equipment maintenance: Most of the incubators will be set to 20°C. If an incubator is set to another temperature, it should have a sign labeling it. Otherwise, if you see an incubator is not at 20°C, tell your friendly neighborhood lab tech.
