Candle jar

Some essential conditions for Campylobacter to grow: 1. CO2 5-10% 2. O2 5-10% 3. 42C 4. Humidity 5. Relatively long time -.-;; As Kerry is also using the CO2 incubater as well (for Haemophilus influenza), I can't use 42C in CO2 incubater. Hence I have to consider candle jar. Find a suitable plastic container (actually it was Virkon's container...), put agar plates and lit a short candle (make its height as low as possible so that it won't melt the plastic lid down) then put in normal (but 42C) incubater. That's it!
