Insect Rearing Chambers Rochester, NY

Darwin Chambers designs, manufactures and installs Insect Rearing Chambers in Rochester, NY.

Insect Rearing Chambers Rochester, NY. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Rochester, 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 have to adhere to and maintain a standard level of conditions to ensure the growth of specimen and the longevity of the room. 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 inquire about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Rochester, NY clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers Rochester, NY

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 that are commonly produced by the rearing of insects or the food they eat will rapidly corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Other providers 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 know that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can destroy a conventional incubator in under 6 months.

That is one obvious cause for concern. However, it is not the only issue. Most incubators are designed for general use and don't require the protections that are needed for insect rearing, and because of this are not ideal for the needs of an insect researcher or worker. Significant factors are often ignored, including:

  • Ability to shut down all heat or cold producing equipment in the event of a malfunction.
  • High-heat decontamination.
  • Quiet operation.
  • Easy programming and use.
  • Durability and resistance to corrosion and other atmospheric challenges.

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 related research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in Rochester, NY, we have a multi-fold approach:

  • Epoxy coated air handles. This coating is the most resistant against long term 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, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in Rochester, NY. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. You can read more 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. With extremely good temperature uniformity, our insect rearing chambers do not sacrifice quality.
  • Proprietary Antimicrobial Coated door handles to reduce the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, improves the insulation performance of the room, 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 within the chamber.

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

Due to the capacity and nature of large walk-in chambers such as our insect rearing chamber rooms, we produce all of our walk-in rooms with some special considerations in mind, including:

  • Accessibility: we make sure to make every chamber we produce is ADA compliant
  • Safety: every walk-in chamber is complete with safety features including a glow-in-the-dark emergency personnel alarm with an easy-to-use pull cord
  • Efficiency: because of the size of a typical insect rearing room, consistent and reliable refrigeration can be difficult. However, we use a cooling technology called Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, which is much more affordable and energy efficient than comparable competitor systems
  • Durability: we understand that insect rearing walk-in chambers are an enormous investment and have taken measures such as 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. These models are appropriate for use in environments where ambient conditions are extreme or difficult to control or when there is a life heat load. 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.
