Insect Rearing Chambers Cincinnati, OH

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Cincinnati, OH.

Insect Rearing Chambers Cincinnati, OH. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Cincinnati, OH 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 that the room can properly grow the specimen without being compromised by the specimen or methods used to procure it. Chambers built for more traditional purposes often struggle with the procurement of insects as their materials and processes aren’t properly designed to be maintained under adverse conditions that can arise with the rearing of insects. The insect rearing chambers designed and manufactured by Darwin 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 Cincinnati, OH clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers Cincinnati, OH

Standard or general incubators or coolers that aren't specifically designed for the rearing of insects or other biological organisms will experience several issues. The acids that are commonly produced by the rearing of insects or the food they eat will quickly corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate 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 recognize that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can destroy a conventional incubator in under 6 months.

That is one obvious cause for concern. There are a variety of other similar issues when it comes to working with insects and using a traditional incubator. The vast majority of incubators are produced for a standard audience and are not created with the unique characteristics of insect rearing in mind, and because of this are unsuited to insect rearing applications. Critical details that are often overlooked include:

  • Ability to easily shut off heating and cooling mechanisms in a malfunction.
  • High-heat decontamination.
  • Quiet operation.
  • Easy programming and use.
  • Reliability and durability.

Many of today's incubator manufacturers still rely on dated technology, but biological testing almost never tests at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. Any ability to go below that temperature can actually be a liability to the insect specimen and related research.

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

  • Epoxy coated air handlesa material which acheives long-term resistance against corrosion.
  • Removing the refrigerant from the room's interior. After almost a decade after turning our back on straight refrigerant in mild heat load applications, we are glad we did. Our Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in Cincinnati, OH. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Ge more details on our technologies page.
  • We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It is precise. It generates very little heat, which requires a smaller compressor, which leads to lower energy usage. Enjoy all this while still enjoying extreme temperature uniformity from our insect rearing chambers as well.
  • Exclusive Antimicrobial Coated door handles that act to combat the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes the capacity within the room, improves the insulation performance of the room, and allows the room to easily satisfy A.D.A. requirements.
  • A black embossed finish on the galvanized steel panels within the room is meant to emulate nighttime within the chamber.

Standard controllers are non-proprietary and are exceptionally well-controlled. Our insect rearing chambers in Cincinnati, OH come with setpoints and alarms that are easy to operate. Chambers also come programmed with standard diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures.

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We boast the premiere 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 custom dimensions and specifications your facility requires. We have a list of stadard features that are included in all of our insect rearing chambers of all sizes, but also offer additional characteristics to consider when choosing one of our insect rearing rooms for use in Cincinnati, OH.

Because of 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 special considerations in mind, including:

  • Accessibility: all of our chambers meet ADA criteria to ensure they are accessible to all
  • Safety: all of our walk-in chambers are fitted with safety considerations including a glow-in-the-dark emergency personnel alarm with an easy-to-use pull cord
  • 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 much more affordable and energy 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. These models are appropriate for use in cases where there is a live heat load or when surrounding ambient conditions are hard to control or extreme. Research that necessitates rapid open door recovery times is best done using a low temp chamber.

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.
