Insect Rearing Chambers San Diego, CA

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

Insect Rearing Chambers San Diego, CA. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in San Diego, 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 that the room can properly grow the specimen without being compromised by the specimen or methods used to procure it. 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 rearing chambers that protect and enhance the growth of specimen while also ensuring that the insect rearing chamber isn’t compromised by the specimen.

Insect Rearing Chambers San Diego, 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 can 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. Our competitors rely on cumbersome 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 realize that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can destroy a conventional incubator in only 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear cause for concern. However, it is not the only issue. Most incubators are produced for general use and are not created with the unique characteristics of insect rearing in mind, and because of this are unsuited to insect rearing applications. Details that are often overlooked include:

• Ability to shut down all heat or cold producing equipment in the event of a malfunction.
• Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
• Quiet operation.
• Easy programming and use.
• Overall reliability in a corrosive atmosphere, and many others.

Many incubators that are available on the market today 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 a liability to the insect specimen and related research.

Darwin Chambers' answer for researchers looking for the best insect rearing chamber is a multi-part solution:

• 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 Diego, CA. Low pressures, ease of repair, and reliability are just some of the reasons we love it. Find out 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. 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 reduce bacteria from growing and spreading.
• The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, provides insulation performance, and allows the room to easily satisfy A.D.A. requirements.
• Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to mimic nighttime inside the chamber.

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

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We boast the premiere commercially manufactured large capacity thermoelectric-cooled insect rearing chamber, thousands of which are currently being used by researchers internationally. The models range in size from benchtop to three-door full length. With simple components, installation and maintenance are incredibly easy.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We construct our walk-in chambers to the custom dimensions and specifications your facility requires. In addition to the standard features that are a part of all of our insect rearing chambers of any size, there are other features to think about when choosing one of our insect rearing rooms for use in San Diego, CA.

Due to the capacity and nature of our insect rearing chamber rooms and any other large walk-in chambers, we create 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 an easy-to-pull and readily visible emergency personnel pull cord alarm
• 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 competitor systems
• Durability: insect rearing walk-in chambers are a hefty investment. We have taken measures like an 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 have the ability to remove more heat and reach lower temperatures. These models are appropriate for use in cases where there is a live heat load or when surrounding ambient conditions are hard to control or extreme. 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.
