Insect Rearing Chambers Houston, TX

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

Insect Rearing Chambers Houston, TX. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Houston, 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 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.

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 quickly break down a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, 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 understand that the propionic acid present in the chamber can destroy a conventional incubator in under 6 months.

This is clearly a major concern. However, it is not the only issue. The vast majority of incubators are produced for a standard audience and disregard the specific needs and challenges of an insect rearing environment, and because of this are unsuited to insect rearing applications. Details are often ignored, including:

• Ability to shut down heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of an emergency.
• High-heat decontamination.
• Quiet operation.
• Easy programming and use.
• Reliability and durability.

Many incubators that are available on the market today are still operating on outdated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. In most cases, dropping below that temperature can actually be a liability to the insect specimen and related research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in Houston, TX, we have 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. 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, is an excellent solution for insect rearing rooms in Houston, TX. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Find out more on our technologies page.
• We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It is exact. 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.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coating on door handles to stop the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
• The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, provides insulation performance, and allows minimal ramp requirements to satisfy A.D.A. requirements.
• A black embossed finish on the galvanized steel panels within the room is meant to mirror nighttime within the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and exceptionally precise. Our insect rearing chambers in Houston, TX 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 throughout the world. The models range in size from benchtop to three-door full length. With simple components, installation and maintenance are incredibly easy.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We construct our walk-in chambers to the exact dimensions and specifications your facility requires. In addition to the standard features that are a part of all of our insect rearing chambers of any size, there are other characteristics to consider when discussing our insect rearing rooms for use in Houston, TX.

Because of the capacity and nature of large walk-in chambers such as our insect rearing chamber rooms, we design 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 including 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 much more affordable and energy 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 such as epoxy coating on functional components to encourage longevity of the chamber and protect against corrosion and other destructive events

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. Our low temp models are best for cases where ambient conditions are extreme or difficult to control or when there is a life heat load. They are also the best choice for researchers whose work requires rapid open door recovery times.

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.
