Test chambers are specially constructed boxes or cabinets used to conduct scientific experiments or test the effects of environmental conditions on test subjects. The precise environmental settings of a test chamber allows researchers to accurately replicate conditions while keeping a close eye on the specimen. 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 -125℉. He sold it to General Motors Heat Treat Lab, who quickly asked Conrad to produce 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 replicating various altitudes. 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 several different environmental factors, Houston, TX researchers can create environments that would be impossible to duplicate outside of a test chamber. Different Kinds of Test Chambers in Houston, TX Darwin Chambers first introduced our stability chambers to Houston, TX researchers in 2003 as the original large-capacity thermoelectric-cooled pharmaceutical test chambers. We've been coming up with more creative solutions ever since, incorporating our technologies and our expertise to deliver chambers that researchers in any field can rely on. A few of our most popular test chambers in Houston, TX are: Environmental Test Chambers — One of our most popular products, our environmental chambers are quiet, easy to clean, repair, and upgrade, extremely reliable, and well-suited for laboratory use, offering unrivaled precisions. They can reach temperatures as low as 2℃ or as high as 50℃, and more extreme temperatures are possible through optional upgrades to construction. Stability Test Chambers — Our stability test chambers not only meet, but 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 Houston, TX and around the world. Other popular stability options include stability refrigerators and stability freezers. Concrete Curing Chambers — These are well-suited for adhering to the strict testing guidelines of concrete, asphalt, and related industries. Contrary to most of "testing" apparatus available to control temperature/humidity for engineering needs, these chambers offer reliable operation, durable construction, and accurate results. The MC Series offers serious performance to Houston, TX engineers and researchers looking for serious results. Altitude Test Chambers — We partner with Colorado Altitude Training (CAT) in Boulder, Colorado, to offer a unique chamber for altitude simulation. Our units can replicate 9,000 feet of elevation, while keeping the pressure consistent. Our altitude test room clients include the U.S Olympic Committee, Harvard University, Doha Sports Hospital, College of William and Mary, Mayo Clinic, Pro cycling Team among others. Freeze/Thaw Test Chambers — These are ideal for Houston, TX companies who need ramp/soak controls. These chambers permit you to see if your product will remain stable under various conditions. During the freeze/thaw cycle your product is put through numerous different temperature changes that it may encounter during its lifespan. Versatility with the chamber includes 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 great for ASTM materials testing, as well as testing for medication, 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. 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 does not allow for hot spots in the chamber and significantly reduces required operational costs.
