Drosophila Incubator in Mesa, AZ

Drosophila incubator in Mesa, AZ. Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) are popular among Mesa, AZ researchers the relative ease of studying them. That makes your Drosophila incubator a critical part of your work. A Drosophila incubator creates a controlled environment that imitates the fly's natural habitat. But, in order to be confident in your research, you need a Drosophila incubator that you can trust. Darwin Chambers has been manufacturing, designing, and installing controlled environmental chambers for more than 20 years. Speak to a representative today at (314) 534-3111 or contact us through our website to learn more about your next Drosophila incubator in Mesa, AZ today.

Applications of the Drosophila Incubator

Drosophila research is common in a wide variety of uses in Mesa, AZ. Some of the most common include:

  • Genetic Manipulation — Fruit flies simple genomes compared to other animals, making them a popular model organism for genetic research. Drosophila incubators provide a controlled environment for housing genetically modified flies, permitting researchers to analyze 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 how light affects sleep, mating, and other common behaviors. The incubator can also be used to study the effect of environmental factors on behavior, for instance how temperature and humidity affect courtship behavior and aggression.
  • Drug Research — Drosophila incubators are also used in the pharmaceutical industry. Researchers can use fruit flies to test chemical compounds and their effect on a wide range 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 only live for 40-50 days makes them an ideal candidate for studying the aging process.
  • Neuroscience Research — Fruit flies have the ability to model human brain diseases. Drosophila incubators are used to replicate their native environment to study their 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.

Aspects of the Drosophila Incubator

When selecting a Drosophila incubator, there are several aspects of the unit you need to take into account to ensure the unit is ideal for your research needs in Mesa, AZ. You should consider the range of quality of:

  • Temperature Control — Temperature control is essential for fruit fly studies as it has a direct correlation to the fly's lifespan, how fast it grows, and its ability to reproduce. The incubator should be able to maintain a consistent temperature within a specified range.
  • Humidity Control — Drosophila incubators also provide humidity control to prevent desiccation of the flies. Humidity control is also essential as it affects the fly's growth and survival.
  • Light Control — You need proper light control for adjusting the fly's circadian rhythm and controlling photoperiod experiments. The incubator should be able to precisely hold how intense the light is and when it's on and off.
  • Capacity — The incubator's capacity should fit your needs and space. Consider the number of flies and generations you'll need and choose an incubator that can accommodate them.
  • Accessibility — The incubator should be easy to access for research, maintenance, and cleaning purposes. Think about how easy it is to load and unload flies and if the climate controls are readily accessible.

At Darwin Chambers, we focus on building Drosophila incubators that consider all of your needs.
