Insect Rearing Chambers Oakland, CA

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Oakland, CA.

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

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 quickly break down a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue when the acid forms concentrated condensation that 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. For example, if you have ever worked with Drosophila, you understand that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can render a new, conventional incubator useless in only 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 produced for a standard audience and disregard the specific needs and challenges of an insect rearing environment, and because of this are not ideal for the needs of an insect researcher or worker. Significant factors that are often overlooked include:

• 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.
• Overall reliability in a corrosive atmosphere, and many others.

Many of today's incubator manufacturers still rely on dated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done anything lower than 15 degrees Celsius. Any ability to go below that temperature can actually be detrimental to the insect specimen and related research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in Oakland, CA, we have 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. 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 Oakland, CA. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. You can read more on our technologies page.
• We firmly believe in our UV sterilized ultrasonic humidification approach. It is exact. Very little heat is generated = smaller compressor = lower energy usage. With extremely good temperature uniformity, our insect rearing chambers do not sacrifice quality.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coating on door handles to reduce the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
• The low profile, 2" floor maximizes the capacity within the room, provides insulation performance, and allows minimal ramp requirements to meet A.D.A. requirements.
• Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to imitate nighttime within the chamber.

Standard controllers are non-proprietary and are extremely precise. Our insect rearing chambers in Oakland, CA come with setpoints and alarms that are easy to operate. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.
