Test chambers are enclosed spaces used to conduct scientific experiments or test the effects of environmental conditions on test subjects. The precise environmental settings of a test chamber allows scientists to accurately replicate conditions while keeping a close eye on the specimen. Charles F. Conrad created the first environmental test chamber on his front porch in Holland, MI in 1951, by redesigning a residential freezer to allow for temperatures of -125℉. General Motors Heat Treat Lab decided to buy it, and quickly asked Conrad to make another two. Since then, hundreds of manufacturers have innovated test chambers that simulate more than just cold, from extreme heat, humidity or dust-filled 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, Cambridge, MA researchers can create environments that they wouldn't be able to duplicate outside of a test chamber. Different Kinds of Test Chambers in Cambridge, MA Darwin Chambers initially sold our stability chambers to Cambridge, MA researchers over 20 years ago as the original large-capacity thermoelectric-cooled pharmaceutical test chambers. We've been innovating ever since, incorporating our technologies and our and expansive knowledge to deliver precise and reliable chambers that are perfect for researchers in a variety of fields. A few of our best-selling test chambers in Cambridge, MA are: Environmental Test Chambers — One of our most popular units, our environmental chambers are quiet enough to keep in a work setting, easy to clean, highly reliable, and ideal for laboratory use, providing unequaled temperature and humidity control. They offer a temperature range of 2℃ to 50℃, and more extreme temperatures can be achieved through upgrades at extra cost. Stability Test Chambers — Our stability test chambers are made to surpass FDA and ICH guidelines. Thousands of our stability chambers are presently in use by many pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, medical device, therapeutic pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical stress testing, and other research purposes both in Cambridge, MA and around the globe. Other popular stability options include stability refrigerators and stability freezers. Material Test/Cure Chambers — These are great for adhering to the strict testing guidelines of concrete, asphalt, and other hard surfaces. Unlike most of "testing" unit available to control temperature/humidity for engineering needs, these chambers offer unmatched construction and results. Altitude Test Chambers — We work alongside Colorado Altitude Training (CAT) in Boulder, Colorado, to offer a one-of-a-kind room for altitude simulation. Our system can simulate 9,000 feet of elevation, while keeping the pressure unchanged. Our altitude testing units have been used by numerous well-known clients, including the U.S. Speed Skating Team, Harvard University, U.A.E., College of William and Mary, Mayo Clinic, Pro cycling Team and many more. Freeze/Thaw Test Chambers — These are ideal for Cambridge, MA researchers who need ramp/soak capabilities. These units allow you to see if your product will remain stable under various conditions. During the freeze/thaw cycle your subject experiences a series of extreme temperature fluctuations that it might encounter during its lifespan. It is highly customizable in terms of varying the freeze and thaw temperatures, duration in the freeze and thaw parts of a cycle, and overall number of cycles per day. These Freeze Thaw chambers are ideal for ASTM materials testing, as well as testing for drugs, food and beverage, and personal care products. Freezing and thawing capabilities range from -25℃ to 50℃. Heated-Humidified Incubators/Ovens Our HH Series of units are ideal for pharmaceutical stress testing at 50C/75%RH. Temperatures range from 5℃ to 70℃, and offer superior control and uniformity. Our own ultrasonic humidification system eliminates hot spots in the chamber and significantly reduces required operational costs. Have other research needs in Cambridge, MA?
