Insect Rearing Chambers Vancouver, BC

Darwin Chambers offers state-of-the-art Insect Rearing Chambers in Vancouver, BC.

Insect Rearing Chambers Vancouver, BC. When studying or working with drosophila (fruit flies), mosquitos, and other insects, you need access to precise and reliable insect rearing chambers in Vancouver, BC 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. 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 find out more about the Insect Rearing Chambers that we make available to Vancouver, BC clients, contact our team at 314-534-3111 or online now.

Insect Rearing Chambers Vancouver, BC

Standard or general 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 quickly eat away at 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. For example, if you have ever worked with Drosophila, you recognize that they bring propionic acid to the chamber that can render a new, conventional incubator useless in as little as 6 months.

This is clearly a major 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 not ideal for insect rearing applications. Critical details are often ignored, including:

• Ability to easily shut off 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 are still operating on dated technology, but the truth is much biological research is never done at temperatures below 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-fold solution:

• Epoxy coated air handles. This coating is the most resistant against long term corrosion.
• Running the rooms without refrigerant in the room. We have not used straight refrigerant in mild heat load applications in a decade, and for good reason. Our Precision Fluid Temperature Control Unit, or PFTCU, works out very well in insect rearing rooms in Vancouver, BC. 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 exact. Very little heat is generated = smaller compressor = lower energy usage. On top of all this, our insect rearing chambers are still able to provide very precise, excellent temperature uniformity.
• Proprietary 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.
• Optional panel surface finish available in black embossed galvanized steel to emulate nighttime within the chamber.

Our non-proprietary standard controls are proven and exceptionally accurate and reliable. The setpoints and alarms on our insect rearing chambers in Vancouver, BC are easy to set. Diurnal ramping/soaking/cycling of temperatures is standard.

Reach-In Insect Chambers - the IN series

We boast the very first commercially manufactured large capacity thermoelectric-cooled insect rearing chamber, thousands of which are currently being used by researchers around the globe. We produce this line with benchtop, one-door, to three-door vertical models. Omitting the reliance on complex refrigeration systems, installation and maintenance require little effort.

Walk-In Insect Chambers

We construct our walk-in chambers to the custom dimensions and specifications needed to work in your facility. We have a list of stadard features that are included in all of our insect rearing chambers of all sizes, but also offer additional characteristics to think about when contemplating our insect rearing rooms for use in Vancouver, BC.

Because of the size 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: all of our chambers meet ADA criteria to ensure they are accessible to all
• Safety: every walk-in chamber is fitted with safety considerations 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, 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 applied solutions 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. Our low temp models are best for 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.
