Insect Rearing Chambers Tampa, FL

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Tampa, FL.

Insect Rearing Chambers Tampa, FL. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Tampa, FL 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. 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 adhering to standards required to ensure the maintainability of the room. To inquire about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Tampa, FL clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers Tampa, FL

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 corrode a standard refrigeration evaporator. High humidity exacerbates the issue, as droplets of concentrated acid will collect 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 destroy a conventional incubator in under 6 months.

The scenario stated above is a clear concern. However, it is not the only issue. Most incubators are produced for general use and don't require the protections that are needed for insect rearing, and because of this are unsuited to insect rearing applications. Details that are often overlooked include:

  • Ability to easily shut off heating and cooling mechanisms in the event of an emergency.
  • Decontamination Ability with High Heat.
  • Minimal Noise.
  • Simple to Program.
  • Durability and resistance to corrosion and other atmospheric challenges.

Many of today's incubator manufacturers are still operating on outdated technology, but biological testing almost never tests at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. Any ability to go below that temperature can actually be detrimental to the organisms and related 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.
  • Removing the refrigerant from the room's interior. 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 Tampa, FL. Low pressures, ease of repair, and reliability are just some of the reasons we love it. Ge more details on our technologies page.
  • We utilize U.V. sterilized ultrasonic humidification. It is exact. It generates very little heat, which requires a smaller compressor, which leads to lower energy usage. Enjoy all this while still enjoying extreme temperature uniformity from our insect rearing chambers as well.
  • Proprietary Antimicrobial Coated door handles that act to combat the spread of bacteria and pathogens.
  • The low profile, 2" floor maximizes the capacity within the room, improves the insulation performance of the room, and allows the room to easily meet A.D.A. requirements.
  • Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to mimic nighttime inside the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and extremely precise. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Tampa, FL are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

  • Safety: all of our walk-in chambers are complete 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 we use a cooling technology called Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, which is less expensive and more efficient than comparable competitor systems
  • Durability: insect rearing walk-in chambers are a hefty investment. We have applied solutions 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 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.

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.
