Drosophila Incubator in Greensboro, NC

Drosophila incubator in Greensboro, NC. Many Greensboro, NC researchers love fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) for their short lifespan, easy maintenance, and low cost. That makes your choice of Drosophila incubator incredibly important. A Drosophila incubator manipulates temperature, humidity, and light conditions to copy the fly's native environment. However, for your own peace of mind, you can't settle for anything less than a top of the line Drosophila incubator. Darwin Chambers has been an industry leader in the controlled environment and insect research industry since 2003. Speak to a representative today at (314) 534-3111 or contact us through our website to discuss your Drosophila incubator needs in Greensboro, NC today.

Applications of the Drosophila Incubator

Drosophila research is common in numerous different uses in Greensboro, NC. Some of the most common include:

  • Genetic Manipulation — Fruit flies have a relatively simple genome, making them a common subject of genetic researchers. Drosophila incubators provide a simulated habitat for the breeding and maintenance of genetically modified flies, permitting researchers to evaluate how certain mutations affect development, behavior, and disease.
  • Behavioral Studies — The Drosophila incubator also facilitates behavioral studies in fruit flies. Researchers can control the light cycle to study circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and mating behaviors. Other climate conditions can also be evaluated, like the effect of temperature on aggression or the effect of humidity on courtship behavior.
  • Pharmaceutical Research — Drosophila incubators are also helpful for drug discovery research. Researchers can use Drosophila to test chemical compounds and their effect on a variety of diseases. The controlled environment of the incubator ensures that the flies are healthy and consistent in their responses to the drugs being tested.
  • Aging Studies — The fact that fruit flies have a lifespan of under two months makes them an ideal candidate for studying the aging process.
  • Neuroscience Research — Drosophila has a well-characterized nervous system, making fruit flies an ideal candidate for studying neurobiology. Drosophila incubators are used to maintain a consistent environment for the breeding and maintenance of flies used in various neuroscience experiments, including studies of learning and memory, circadian rhythms, and behavior.
  • Evolutionary Biology — Drosophila is a significant player in evolutionary biology research. Drosophila incubators provide a controlled environment for the breeding and maintenance of flies, allowing researchers to study the effects of various environmental factors on evolutionary changes in the flies over time.

Features of the Drosophila Incubator

When looking for a Drosophila incubator, there are several different features you need to take into account to ensure the unit is fit for your research needs in Greensboro, NC. Here are some features to look out for:

  • Temperature Control — Temperature control is crucial for Drosophila research as it affects the fly's lifespan, how fast it grows, and mating. The incubator should never never become hotter or colder than a particular range.
  • Humidity Control — Drosophila incubators also provide humidity control to prevent the flies from drying out. Humidity control also affects the fly's growth and survival.
  • Light Control — Light control is necessary for regulating the fly's circadian rhythm and performing photoperiod experiments. The incubator should be able to precisely hold how intense the light is and how long it lasts.
  • Capacity — The incubator's capacity should fit your needs and lab setting. Think about the number of experimental replicates you'll need and where you'll need your incubator to be located.
  • Accessibility — Anyone should be able to easily access the incubator whenever the need arises. Think about how easy it is to load and unload flies and the accessibility of the temperature and humidity controls.

At Darwin Chambers, all of our Drosophila incubators are designed, manufactured, and installed to fit our Greensboro, NC clients' needs.
