Insect Rearing Chambers San Francisco, CA

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

Insect Rearing Chambers San Francisco, 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 Francisco, 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. 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 find out more about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to San Francisco, CA clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online today.

Insect Rearing Chambers San Francisco, CA

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 can quickly break down a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Other chamber manufacturers 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 understand that the propionic acid present in the chamber can render a new, conventional incubator useless in only 6 months.

That is one obvious cause for concern. There are a number of other issues with standard incubators for insect use as well. Most incubators are produced for a standard audience 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 an emergency.
• High-heat decontamination.
• Quiet operation.
• Simple to Program.
• 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 cause damage to the insect specimen and related research.

Darwin Chambers' answer for researchers looking for the best insect rearing chamber is 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 Francisco, CA. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. Ge more details on our technologies page.
• We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It is precise. It generates very little heat, which requires a smaller compressor, which leads to lower energy usage. On top of all this, our insect rearing chambers are still able to provide very precise, excellent temperature uniformity.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coated door handles to stop bacteria from growing and spreading.
• The low profile, 2" floor maximizes available space, improves the insulation performance of the room, and allows the room to easily satisfy A.D.A. requirements.
• A black embossed finish on the galvanized steel panels within the room is meant to mirror nighttime within the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and extremely well-controlled. Our insect rearing chambers in San Francisco, CA come with setpoints and alarms that are easy to operate. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

We produce this line with benchtop, one-door, to three-door vertical models. With simple components, installation and maintenance are incredibly easy.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We can customize our walk-in chambers to the exact dimensions and specifications needed to work in your facility. In addition to the standard features that are a part of all of our insect rearing chambers of any size, there are other options to consider when contemplating our insect rearing rooms for use in San Francisco, CA.

Because of the size and nature of large walk-in chambers such as our insect rearing chamber rooms, we design all of our walk-in rooms with some additional features, including:

• Accessibility: we make sure to make every chamber we produce is ADA compliant
• Safety: all of our walk-in chambers are fitted with safety features such as 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 like an epoxy coating to ensure that the parts are protected against corrosion and last as long as possible

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.
