Insect Rearing Chambers San Antonio, TX

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in San Antonio, TX.

Insect Rearing Chambers San Antonio, TX. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in San Antonio, TX 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 that the room can properly grow the specimen without being compromised by the specimen or methods used to procure it. 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. 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 adhering to standards required to ensure the maintainability of the room. To find out more about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to San Antonio, TX clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers San Antonio, TX

Walk-in 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 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 realize that the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless in under 6 months.

That is one obvious concern. There are a variety of other similar issues when it comes to working with insects and using a traditional incubator. Most incubators are designed for a standard audience and disregard the specific needs and challenges of an insect rearing environment, and because of this are not ideal for insect rearing applications. Details that are often overlooked include:

• Ability to shut down heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of a malfunction.
• Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
• Quiet operation.
• Simple to Program.
• Durability and resistance to corrosion and other atmospheric challenges.

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 at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. Any ability to go below that temperature can actually cause damage to the insect specimen and related research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in San Antonio, TX, we have a multi-part approach:

• Epoxy coated air handlesa material which acheives long-term resistance against 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 San Antonio, TX. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Find out more on our technologies page.
• We firmly believe in our UV sterilized ultrasonic humidification approach. 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.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coated door handles to reduce the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
• 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 inside the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and extremely well-controlled. Our insect rearing chambers in San Antonio, TX come with setpoints and alarms that are easy to operate. Chambers also come programmed with standard diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures.
