Insect Rearing Chambers Cleveland, OH

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

Insect Rearing Chambers Cleveland, OH. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Cleveland, 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 need further enhancements and industry-specific specifications 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. Darwin Chamber's Insect Rearing Chambers are specifically designed and manufactured rearing chambers that 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 Cleveland, OH clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online right away.

Insect Rearing Chambers Cleveland, OH

Walk-in Incubators or Coolers that aren't specifically designed for the rearing of insects or other biological organisms will experience several issues. The acids inherent in the rearing of many specimens or their food can rapidly eat away at a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue when the acid forms concentrated condensation that will collect on the cooling components. Our competitors use 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 realize that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can destroy a conventional incubator in as little as 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear cause for concern. There are a number of other issues with standard incubators for insect use as well. Most incubators are designed for general use and disregard the specific needs and challenges of an insect rearing environment, and because of this are not ideal for 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.
  • High-heat decontamination.
  • Minimal Noise.
  • Easy programming and use.
  • Overall reliability in a corrosive atmosphere, and many others.

Many of today's incubator manufacturers are still operating on dated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done anything lower than 15 degrees Celsius. In most cases, dropping below that temperature can actually be detrimental to the insect specimen and subsequent research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in Cleveland, OH, we have a multi-part solution:

  • Epoxy coated air handles. This coating is the most resistant against long term 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 Cleveland, OH. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Find out more on our technologies page.
  • We use a form of humidification that relies on UV sterlized ultrasonics. It is precise. Very little heat is generated = smaller compressor = lower energy usage. With extremely good temperature uniformity, our insect rearing chambers do not sacrifice quality.
  • Proprietary Antimicrobial Coating on door handles to stop 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 meet A.D.A. requirements.
  • Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to emulate 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 Cleveland, OH are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We are proud to be the makers of the premiere commercially manufactured large capacity thermoelectric-cooled insect rearing chamber, thousands of which are currently being used by researchers worldwide. We produce this line with benchtop, one-door, to three-door vertical models. With simple components, installation and maintenance require little effort.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We construct our walk-in chambers to the unique dimensions and specifications needed to work in your facility. We have a list of stadard features that are included in all of our insect rearing chambers of all sizes, but also offer additional features to think about when contemplating our insect rearing rooms for use in Cleveland, OH.

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

  • Accessibility: all of our chambers meet ADA criteria to ensure they are accessible to all
  • Safety: all of our walk-in chambers are complete 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: we understand that insect rearing walk-in chambers are an enormous investment and 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 reach lower temperatures than our other models and have advanced heat removal abilities. These models are appropriate for use in cases where ambient conditions are extreme or difficult to control or when there is a life heat load. 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.
