Insect Rearing Chambers Long Island, NY

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Long Island, NY.

Insect Rearing Chambers Long Island, NY. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Long Island, NY 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 adhering to standards required to ensure the maintainability of the room. To find out more about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Long Island, NY clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online today.

Insect Rearing Chambers Long Island, NY

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 will rapidly eat away at a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Other chamber manufacturers 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. For example, if you have ever worked with Drosophila, you know that the propionic acid present in the chamber can destroy a conventional incubator in only 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear concern. However, it is not the only issue. Most incubators are produced for a standard audience and don't require the protections that are needed for insect rearing, 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 a malfunction.
  • 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 biological testing almost never tests anything lower than 15 degrees Celsius. In most cases, dropping below that temperature can actually be a liability to the insect specimen and related 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.
  • 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, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in Long Island, NY. Low pressures, ease of repair, and reliability are just some of the reasons we love it. Ge more details on our technologies page.
  • We use a form of humidification that relies on UV sterlized ultrasonics. It is exact. 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 that act to combat bacteria from growing and spreading.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, improves the insulation performance of the room, and allows minimal ramp requirements to satisfy A.D.A. requirements.
  • Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to mirror nighttime within the chamber.

Standard controllers are non-proprietary and are extremely precise. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Long Island, NY are easy to set. Chambers also come programmed with standard diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures.
