incubator


Explanation:
all of the above are good suggestions:
autoclave is for sterilization

when one thinks of incubator, microbial cultures come to mind, but an incubator can be used also for dessication as well as stability of the item placed in the equipment when the temperature is adjusted to simulate different weather patterns, etc..
