Insect Rearing Chambers St. Louis, MO

Darwin Chambers designs, manufactures and installs Insect Rearing Chambers in St. Louis, MO.

Insect Rearing Chambers St. Louis, MO. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in St. Louis, MO 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 rearing chambers that 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 St. Louis, MO clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online right away.

Insect Rearing Chambers St. Louis, MO

Standard or general 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 rapidly eat away at a standard refrigeration evaporator. The corrosion is catalyzed by high humidity levels, as droplets of concentrated acid will accumulate on the cooling components. Other chamber manufacturers use 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. For example, if you have ever worked with Drosophila, you understand that the propionic acid present in the chamber can destroy a conventional incubator in as little as 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear concern. However, it is not the only issue. The vast majority of incubators are produced for a standard audience and disregard the specific needs and challenges of an insect rearing environment, and because of this are unsuited to the needs of an insect researcher or worker. Details are often ignored, including:

• Ability to shut down heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of an emergency.
• High-heat decontamination.
• Minimal Noise.
• Easy programming and use.
• Durability and resistance to corrosion and other atmospheric challenges.

Many of today's incubator manufacturers still rely on dated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. In most cases, dropping below that temperature can actually be detrimental to the insect specimen and related research.

For anyone looking for the best insect rearing chamber in St. Louis, MO, we have 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, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in St. Louis, MO. This method of cooling boasts low pressure, easy maintenance, and reliability. You can read more on our technologies page.
• We firmly believe in our UV sterilized ultrasonic humidification approach. It is exact. Very little heat is generated = smaller compressor = lower energy usage. Enjoy all this while still enjoying extreme temperature uniformity from our insect rearing chambers as well.
• Exclusive Antimicrobial Coating on 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 mimic nighttime inside the chamber.

Standard controllers are non-proprietary and are extremely well-controlled. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in St. Louis, MO are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

In addition to the standard features that are a part of all of our insect rearing chambers of any size, there are other characteristics to consider when choosing one of our insect rearing rooms for use in St. Louis, MO.

Because of the capacity and nature of large walk-in chambers such as our insect rearing chamber rooms, we produce 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: every walk-in chamber is fitted with safety considerations 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 such as 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. Our low temp models are best for environments 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.
