Insect Rearing Chambers Atlanta, GA

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Atlanta, GA.

Insect Rearing Chambers Atlanta, GA. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Atlanta, GA that provide an environment specifically meant for breeding, rearing, incubating, and observing the insects you are working with. You need a dedicated insect rearing chamber that is designed specifically for insect work and goes beyond simple manipulation and measurement of light, temperature, and humidity provided by a standard environmental chamber.

Insect Rearing Chambers have to adhere to and maintain a standard level of conditions to ensure the growth of specimen and the longevity of the room. Standard Walk-in Chambers and Environmental Chambers often do not meet these requirements due to the problematic conditions that can arise from the rearing of certain specimen. Darwin Chamber's Insect Rearing Chambers are specifically designed and manufactured to protect and enhance the growth of specimen while also ensuring that the insect rearing chamber isn’t compromised by the specimen. To find out more about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Atlanta, GA clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online right away.

Insect Rearing Chambers Atlanta, GA

Walk-in Incubators or Coolers have several issues that affect the researcher's ability to rear of insects and other biological organisms. The acids that are commonly produced by the rearing of insects or the food they eat will rapidly corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels when the acid forms concentrated condensation that will accumulate on the cooling components. Our competitors rely on large evaporator units that are more prone to experiencing leaks that can be costly and also require the replacement of expensive components, other than the evaporator itself, due to compromised oil (modern refrigeration oils are very hygroscopic) in the system. Anyone familiar with Drosophila storage, for example, will recognize that the propionic acid present in the chamber can destroy a conventional incubator in under 6 months.

This is clearly a major cause for concern. There are a number of other issues with standard incubators for insect use as well. Most incubators are designed for a standard audience and don't require the protections that are needed for insect rearing, and because of this are unsuited to insect rearing applications. Significant factors are often ignored, including:

  • Ability to easily shut off heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of a malfunction.
  • High-heat decontamination.
  • Minimal Noise.
  • Simple to Program.
  • Overall reliability in a corrosive atmosphere, and many others.

Many incubators that are available on the market today still rely on outdated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. Any ability to go below that temperature can actually be detrimental to the organisms and related research.

Darwin Chambers' answer for researchers looking for the best insect rearing chamber is a multi-part approach:

  • Epoxy coated air handlesa material which acheives long-term resistance against corrosion.
  • Removing the refrigerant from the room's interior. We have not used straight refrigerant in mild heat load applications in a decade, and for good reason. Our Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in Atlanta, GA. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. You can read more on our technologies page.
  • We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It is exact. It generates very little heat, which requires a smaller compressor, which leads to lower energy usage. On top of all this, our insect rearing chambers are still able to provide very precise, excellent temperature uniformity.
  • Proprietary Antimicrobial Coated door handles to discourage bacteria from growing and spreading.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes the capacity within the room, improves the insulation performance of the room, and allows minimal ramp requirements to meet A.D.A. requirements.
  • Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to mimic nighttime inside the chamber.

Standard controllers are non-proprietary and are exceptionally accurate and reliable. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Atlanta, GA are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

Insect Rearing Chambers Atlanta, GA - Our Models

As the research needs, different types and lifestages of insects' needs, and other factors related to your work with insects differ so greatly, what you need from your Atlanta, GA insect rearing chambers will also differ. Darwin Chambers knows that for any important effort in groundbreaking scientific research, product engineering, and other insect rearing related programs, Atlanta, GA insect rearing chambers are not a one-size-fits-all solution. You must have a quality insect rearing chamber that meets the requirements of your facility and the object of your insect work. We have manufactured a variety of insect rearing chambers in Atlanta, GA that can be modified and customized to meet your exact needs. Discover more about the models we offer for Atlanta, GA insect rearing chambers below.

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We boast the very first commercially manufactured large capacity thermoelectric-cooled insect rearing chamber. There are currently thousands in use by researchers worldwide. We produce this line with benchtop, one-door, to three-door vertical models. With simple components, installation and maintenance are incredibly easy.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We can customize our walk-in chambers to the exact dimensions and specifications your facility requires. In addition to the standard features that are a part of all of our insect rearing chambers of any size, there are other features to consider when choosing one of our insect rearing rooms for use in Atlanta, GA.

Due to the capacity and nature of our insect rearing chamber rooms and any other large walk-in chambers, we produce all of our walk-in rooms with some additional features, including:

  • Accessibility: we make sure to make every chamber we produce is ADA compliant
  • Safety: every walk-in chamber is fitted with safety considerations such as an easy-to-pull and readily visible emergency personnel pull cord alarm
  • Efficiency: because of the size of a typical insect rearing room, consistent and reliable refrigeration can be difficult. However, our indirect cooling system known as a Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, is less expensive and more efficient than comparable systems used by our competitors
  • Durability: insect rearing walk-in chambers are a hefty investment. We have taken measures like an epoxy coating to ensure that the parts are protected against corrosion and last as long as possible

Low-Temperature Insect Rearing Chambers - INR Series

Low-temperature insect rearing chambers have the ability to remove more heat and reach lower temperatures. Our low temp models are best for cases where ambient conditions are extreme or difficult to control or when there is a life heat load. They are also the best choice for researchers whose work requires rapid open door recovery times.

Below is an expansive list of the Controlled Environmental Chambers we design, build, and install. If you have further inquiries, we can be reached at 314-534-3111 or by filling out the form on this page.
