Insect Rearing Chambers Dallas, TX

Darwin Chambers designs, manufactures and installs Insect Rearing Chambers in Dallas, TX.

Insect Rearing Chambers Dallas, TX. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Dallas, TX 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. 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 Dallas, TX clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers Dallas, TX

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 that are commonly produced by the rearing of insects or the food they eat can rapidly break down a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, as droplets of concentrated 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. For example, if you have ever worked with Drosophila, you realize that the propionic acid present in the chamber can destroy a conventional incubator in as little as 6 months.

That is one obvious 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 are not created with the unique characteristics of insect rearing in mind, and because of this are not ideal for insect rearing applications. Critical details that are often overlooked include:

  • Ability to easily shut off heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of an emergency.
  • Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
  • Minimal Noise.
  • Simple to Program.
  • Durability and resistance to corrosion and other atmospheric challenges.

Many incubators that are available on the market today still rely on dated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done anything lower than 15 degrees Celsius. Any ability to go below that temperature can actually be a liability to the insect specimen and subsequent research.

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

  • 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 Dallas, TX. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Find out more on our technologies page.
  • We firmly believe in our UV sterilized ultrasonic humidification approach. It is precise. This system generates minimal heat and thus requires a smaller compressor and consumes less energy. 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 stop the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes the capacity within the room, provides insulation performance, and allows minimal ramp requirements to meet A.D.A. requirements.
  • Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to imitate nighttime inside the chamber.

Standard controllers are non-proprietary and are extremely accurate and reliable. Our insect rearing chambers in Dallas, TX come with setpoints and alarms that are easy to operate. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

  • Accessibility: we make sure to make every chamber we produce is ADA compliant
  • Safety: all of our walk-in chambers are fitted with safety considerations such as a glow-in-the-dark emergency personnel alarm with an easy-to-use pull cord
  • Efficiency: energy use to refrigerate our insect rearing rooms can be a challenge due to the size of the space, but we use a cooling technology called Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, which is much more affordable and energy efficient than comparable competitor systems
  • 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 reach lower temperatures than our other models and have advanced heat removal abilities. 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.
