Insect Rearing Chambers Jacksonville, FL

Darwin Chambers designs, manufactures and installs Insect Rearing Chambers in Jacksonville, FL.

Insect Rearing Chambers Jacksonville, FL. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Jacksonville, FL 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. Standard Walk-in Chambers and Environmental Chambers often do not meet these requirements due to the problematic conditions that can arise from the rearing of certain specimen. The insect rearing chambers designed and manufactured by Darwin Chambers are specifically designed and manufactured rearing chambers that protect and enhance the growth of specimen while also adhering to standards required to ensure the maintainability of the room. To inquire about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Jacksonville, FL clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online right away.

Insect Rearing Chambers Jacksonville, FL

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 quickly corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Other chamber manufacturers 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. For example, if you have ever worked with Drosophila, you recognize that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can destroy a conventional incubator in only 6 months.

This is clearly a major 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 designed for a standard audience and disregard the specific needs and challenges of an insect rearing environment, and because of this are unsuited to the needs of an insect researcher or worker. Details are often ignored, including:

  • Ability to easily shut off heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of an emergency.
  • Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
  • Quiet operation.
  • Simple to Program.
  • 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 detrimental to the organisms and subsequent research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in Jacksonville, FL, we have a multi-fold solution:

  • Epoxy coated air handlesa material which acheives long-term resistance against 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, is an excellent solution for insect rearing rooms in Jacksonville, FL. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Ge more details on our technologies page.
  • We use a form of humidification that relies on UV sterlized ultrasonics. It is exact. It generates very little heat, which requires a smaller compressor, which leads to lower energy usage. On top of all this, our insect rearing chambers are still able to provide very precise, excellent temperature uniformity.
  • Exclusive Antimicrobial Coated door handles that act to combat bacteria from growing and spreading.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, provides insulation performance, and allows the room to easily meet A.D.A. requirements.
  • A black embossed finish on the galvanized steel panels within the room is meant to mimic nighttime inside the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and extremely accurate and reliable. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Jacksonville, FL are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

Discover additional details about the lines we offer for Jacksonville, FL insect rearing chambers below.

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We boast the very first commercially produced large capacity thermoelectric-cooled insect rearing chamber, thousands of which are currently being used by researchers internationally. The models range in size from benchtop to three-door full length. 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. 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 choosing one of our insect rearing rooms for use in Jacksonville, FL.

Because of the size 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: every walk-in chamber is complete with safety features 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: insect rearing walk-in chambers are a hefty investment. We have applied solutions like an 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 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.
