Insect Rearing Chambers Minneapolis, MN

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Minneapolis, MN.

Insect Rearing Chambers Minneapolis, MN. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Minneapolis, MN 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 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. 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 have several issues that affect the researcher's ability to rear of insects and other biological organisms. The acids inherent in the rearing of many specimens or their food will rapidly break down a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels when the acid forms concentrated condensation that 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 realize that the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless in as little as 6 months.

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 designed 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 that are often overlooked include:

• Ability to shut down heating and cooling mechanisms in an emergency.
• Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
• Quiet operation.
• Simple to Program.
• Reliability and durability.

Many incubators that are available on the market today 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.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in Minneapolis, MN, 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 Minneapolis, MN. 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 precise. 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.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coating on door handles to discourage the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
• 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.
• Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to mirror nighttime within the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and exceptionally precise. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Minneapolis, MN are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We boast the very first commercially manufactured large capacity thermoelectric-cooled insect rearing chamber. There are currently thousands in use by researchers around the globe. We produce this line with benchtop, one-door, to three-door vertical models. Omitting the reliance on complex refrigeration systems, installation and maintenance require little effort.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We can customize our walk-in chambers to the custom 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 Minneapolis, MN.

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 special considerations in mind, including:

• Accessibility: all of our chambers meet ADA criteria to ensure they are accessible to all
• Safety: every walk-in chamber is fitted with safety considerations such as a glow-in-the-dark emergency personnel alarm with an easy-to-use pull cord
• Efficiency: energy use to refrigerate our insect rearing rooms can be a challenge due to the size of the space, but 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: we understand that insect rearing walk-in chambers are an enormous investment and have applied solutions like an epoxy coating to ensure that the parts are protected against corrosion and last as long as possible

Low-Temperature Insect Rearing Chambers - INR Series

Low-temperature insect rearing chambers have the ability to remove more heat and reach lower temperatures. These models are appropriate for use in environments where there is a live heat load or when surrounding ambient conditions are hard to control or extreme. 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.
