Insect Rearing Chambers Madison, WI

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Madison, WI.

Insect Rearing Chambers Madison, WI. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Madison, WI 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 the growth of specimen and the longevity of the room. 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. 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 inquire about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Madison, WI clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online today.

Insect Rearing Chambers Madison, WI

Standard or general 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 rapidly corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue when the acid forms concentrated condensation that will collect on the cooling components. Our competitors 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. Anyone familiar with Drosophila storage, for example, will understand that the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless 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 produced for general use and are not created with the unique characteristics of insect rearing in mind, and because of this are not ideal for the needs of an insect researcher or worker. Critical details are often ignored, including:

  • Ability to shut down all heat or cold producing equipment in the event of an emergency.
  • High-heat decontamination.
  • Minimal Noise.
  • Easy programming and use.
  • Reliability and durability.

Many incubators that are available on the market today still rely on outdated technology, but biological testing almost never tests anything lower than 15 degrees Celsius. In most cases, dropping below that temperature can actually cause damage to the organisms and subsequent research.

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

  • Epoxy coated air handlesa material which acheives long-term resistance against corrosion.
  • Removing the refrigerant from the room's interior. 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 Madison, WI. Low pressures, ease of repair, and reliability are just some of the reasons we love it. Find out more on our technologies page.
  • We use a form of humidification that relies on UV sterlized ultrasonics. It is precise. 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.
  • Proprietary Antimicrobial Coated door handles to reduce 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 meet A.D.A. requirements.
  • Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to mimic nighttime within the chamber.

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