Abstract: The present invention relates to a laboratory incubator, more particularly, a gassing incubator, comprising an outer housing incorporating a door and an inner housing surrounding an internal chamber, which comprises a floor, a ceiling, three side walls and a lateral surface that is capable of being closed by said door or by an additional, inner door, and in which a flow channel is present, which comprises at least one air inlet opening in an end region and at least one air outlet opening in a different end region, wherein said at least one air outlet opening is formed such that effluent air is guided along at least one of the side walls and/or the lateral surface in the peripheral region of the internal chamber, and wherein a water reservoir capable of being heated is disposed within the flow channel such that air flowing in the flow channel is passed across or through said water reservoir.
