Insect Rearing Chambers Sacramento, CA

Darwin Chambers designs, manufactures and installs Insect Rearing Chambers in Sacramento, CA.

Insect Rearing Chambers Sacramento, CA. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Sacramento, 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. 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. To inquire about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Sacramento, CA clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers Sacramento, CA

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 corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Our competitors 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. Anyone familiar with Drosophila storage, for example, will know that the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless in under 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear cause for 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 a standard audience 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 heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of an emergency.
  • Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
  • Minimal Noise.
  • Simple to Program.
  • 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 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 Sacramento, CA, 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. 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, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in Sacramento, CA. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Find out more on our technologies page.
  • We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It is exact. It generates very little heat, which requires a smaller compressor, which leads to lower energy usage. With extremely good temperature uniformity, our insect rearing chambers do not sacrifice quality.
  • Proprietary Antimicrobial Coating on door handles to discourage bacteria from growing and spreading.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, provides insulation performance, 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 emulate nighttime within the chamber.

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