Insect Rearing Chambers Seattle, WA

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Seattle, WA.

Insect Rearing Chambers Seattle, WA. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Seattle, WA 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. Darwin Chamber's Insect Rearing 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 Seattle, WA clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online today.

Walk-in Incubators or Coolers have several issues that affect the researcher's ability to rear of insects and other biological organisms. The acids that are commonly produced by the rearing of insects or the food they eat can rapidly eat away at a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels, as droplets of concentrated acid will collect 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 understand that the propionic acid present in the chamber can destroy a conventional incubator in under 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear 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 don't require the protections that are needed for insect rearing, and because of this are not ideal for insect rearing applications. Critical details that are often overlooked include:

• Ability to shut down heating and cooling mechanisms in an emergency.
• High-heat decontamination.
• Minimal Noise.
• Simple to Program.
• Reliability and durability.

Many incubators that are available on the market today are still operating on dated technology, but biological testing almost never tests at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. In most cases, dropping below that temperature can actually be detrimental to the insect specimen and subsequent research.

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

• Epoxy coated air handles. This coating is the most resistant against long term 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 Seattle, WA. Low pressures, ease of repair, and reliability are just some of the reasons we love it. You can read more on our technologies page.
• We firmly believe in our UV sterilized ultrasonic humidification approach. It is precise. This system generates minimal heat and thus requires a smaller compressor and consumes less energy. Enjoy all this while still enjoying extreme temperature uniformity from our insect rearing chambers as well.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coated door handles to stop the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
• The low profile, 2" floor maximizes the capacity within the room, provides insulation performance, and allows minimal ramp requirements to 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 precise. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Seattle, WA are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.
