Insect Rearing Chamber Chandler, AZ

Darwin Chambers designes, manufactures and installs Insect Rearing Chambers in Chandler, AZ.

Insect Rearing Chambers need further enhancements and industry-specific specifications to ensure that the room can properly grow the specimen without out being compromised by the specimen or methods used to procure it. Standard Walk-In Rooms are not ideal for the procurement of insects as the rooms are not properly designed for the difficulties that can arise from insect by-products as well as the acids that can be required to rear insects. Darwin Chamber's Insect Rearing Chambers in Chandler are specifically designed and manufactured rearing chambers that protect and enhance the growth of specimen while also adhering to standards required to ensure the maintainability of the room.

Standard Walk-in Incubators or coolers have several issues that affect the room during the rearing of insects and other biological organisms. Refrigeration Evaporators can quickly corrode when dealing with the acids that are inherent in the rearing of many specimens. This issue is further damaging in high humidity environments where droplets of acid will collect on the cooling components. Other providers 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 understand that the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless in as little as 6 months.

There are, however, other issues that also arise from not having a room directly built to accommodate insect rearing. The vast majority of incubators are produced 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. Details that are often overlooked include:

• Ability to shut down all heat or cold producing equipment in the event of a malfunction.
• Ability to decontaminate the chamber with high heat.
• Low noise levels.
• Ease of programming.
• Overall reliability in a corrosive atmosphere, and many others.

Many incubators that are available on the market today are still operating on dated technology, but the truth is, much biological research is never done at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius, therefore, any ability to go below that temperature can actually be a liability to the organisms and research.

Darwin Chambers answer for researchers looking for the ideal chamber is a multi-fold approach:

• Epoxy coated air handlers. This coating seems to be the most resistant against long term corrosion.
• Running the rooms without refrigerant in the room. After almost a decade after turning our back on straight refrigerant in mild heat load applications, we are glad we did. Our PFTCU works out very well in insect rearing rooms. Low pressures, ease of repair, and reliability are just some of the reasons. You can read more on our technologies page.
• We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It’s precise. Very little heat is generated = smaller compressor = lower energy usage. A good benefit is extremely good temperature uniformity as well.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coating on door handle to reduce the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
• Low profile 2? floor – maximizes available space, provides insulation performance, 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. Setpoints and alarms are easy to set with a small amount of instruction. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.
