Insect Rearing Chambers Denver, CO

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 will rapidly eat away at a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Our competitors use cumbersome 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 the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless in under 6 months.

Darwin's Denver, CO, insect incubators are ideal for a variety of uses, including:

• Genomics
• Clinical Epidemiology
• Insect Species Conservation
• ALAAC, OLAW, USDA, and NIH-compliant vivariums
• Insect Cell Culture

Insect rearing chambers, known as insect growth chambers, are specialized environments created to control the rearing conditions for different insect species. They meticulously regulate factors such as temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation to replicate natural habitats and ensure ideal conditions for insect development. These chambers are broadly used in research labs, academic institutions, and commercial insectaries for studying insect behavior, conducting experiments, producing insects in bulk for pest management, and advancing scientific and educational research.

This is clearly a major concern. There are a number of other issues with standard incubators for insect use as well. The vast majority of incubators are produced for general use and don't require the protections that are needed for insect rearing, and because of this are not ideal for the needs of an insect researcher or worker. Significant factors are often ignored, including:

• Safety Procedures
• Decontamination Ability with High Heat
• Minimal Noise
• Easy Programming and Use
• Durability and Resistance to Corrosion

Denver, CO, insect rearing chambers are pivotal for researchers and scientists who require exact environmental controls for the cultivation and examination of insects. These chambers deliver stable and consistent conditions, essential for various scientific and commercial purposes, and support advancements in agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental science.

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 related research.

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

• Epoxy coated air handles. This coating is the most resistant against long term corrosion.
• Running the rooms without refrigerant in the room. 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 Denver, CO. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Ge more details 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. Enjoy all this while still enjoying extreme temperature uniformity from our insect rearing chambers as well.
• Proprietary Antimicrobial Coating on door handles to reduce 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 the room to easily satisfy A.D.A. requirements.
• A black embossed finish on the galvanized steel panels within the room is meant to imitate nighttime within the chamber.

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