Test chambers are enclosed spaces used to conduct scientific experiments or test the effects of environmental conditions on test subjects. The controlled environment of a test chamber allows researchers to accurately replicate conditions while being able to get exact readings. Charles F. Conrad created the first environmental test chamber in 1951, after working as a refrigerator repairman, by purposing a residential freezer to allow for temperatures of -87℃. He sold it to General Motors Heat Treat Lab, who quickly asked Conrad to make another two. Ever since, test chambers have been designed and used to simulate a wide range of conditions, from extreme cold and heat, humidity or sea-salt environments. In addition to temperature and humidity, test chambers can also be used to control other aspects of the environment, such as air pressure, atmospheric composition, and even electromagnetic fields. By controlling these factors, Austin, TX researchers can create environments that would be impossible to duplicate outside of a test chamber. Different Kinds of Test Chambers in Austin, TX Darwin Chambers first introduced our stability chambers to the Austin, TX community over 20 years ago as the original large-capacity thermoelectric-cooled pharmaceutical test chambers. Since then, we've continued to innovate, incorporating our technologies and our creative spirit to deliver chambers that researchers in any field can rely on. Some of our most popular test chambers in Austin, TX include: Environmental Test Chambers — One of our top-selling chambers, our environmental chambers are quiet, easy to clean, repair, and upgrade, extremely reliable, and ideal for laboratory use, offering unparalleled precisions. Standard units offer a temperature range of 2℃ to 50℃, and more extreme temperatures can be reached through optional upgrades to construction. Stability Test Chambers — Our stability test chambers not only meet, but exceed FDA and ICH regulations. Our stability chambers are trusted in numerous different industries, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, medical device, therapeutic pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical stress testing, and other research companies both in Austin, TX and around the globe. Other popular stability options include stability refrigerators and stability freezers. Material Test/Cure Chambers — These are well-suited for adhering to the strict testing guidelines of concrete, asphalt, and other hard surfaces. Unlike most of "testing" currently on the market, these chambers offer unmatched construction and results. Altitude Test Chambers — We work alongside Colorado Altitude Training (CAT) in Boulder, Colorado, to offer a unique chamber for altitude simulation. Our system can reduce the oxygen content from 20.9% to 15.2%, while the pressure stays the same. Our altitude chambers have been used by the U.S Olympic Committee, Harvard University, Doha Sports Hospital, College of William and Mary, Mayo Clinic, Pro cycling Team and many more. Freeze/Thaw Test Chambers — These units are well-suited for Austin, TX researchers looking for ramp/soak programming. These units allow you to determine how your product will hold up under extreme conditions. During the freeze/thaw cycle your subject undergoes a series of extreme temperature fluctuations that it may encounter during its lifespan. You can easily change the temperatures, duration of testing, and how many cycles are performed each day. These Freeze Thaw chambers are well-suited for ASTM materials testing, as well as testing for pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and cosmetic products. They have a temperature range of -25℃ to 50℃. Heated-Humidified Incubators/Ovens Our HH Series chambers can be used as pharmaceutical stress test chambers at 50C/75%RH. They can maintain temperatures as low as 5℃ or as high as 70℃ and offer maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Our exclusive ultrasonic humidification system eliminates hot spots in the chamber and significantly decreases required operational costs. Have other research needs in Austin, TX?
