If you're looking for test chambers, speak to a Darwin representative today at (314) 534-3111 or contact us online. What Are Test Chambers? Test chambers are specially constructed boxes, of various sizes, used to how certain conditions affect test subjects. The controlled environment of a test chamber allows researchers to accurately replicate conditions while keeping a close eye on the specimen. Charles F. Conrad designed the first environmental test chamber in 1951, after working as a refrigerator repairman, by modifying his personal freezer to reach temperatures as low as -87℃. General Motors Heat Treat Lab decided to buy it, and quickly asked Conrad to produce two more. Since then, hundreds of manufacturers have innovated test chambers that simulate more than just cold, from extreme 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, Minneapolis, MN researchers can create environments that they wouldn't be able to duplicate outside of a test chamber. Different Kinds of Test Chambers in Minneapolis, MN Darwin Chambers first introduced our stability chambers to Minneapolis, MN researchers in 2003 as the first 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 no matter what they're studying. A few of our most popular test chambers in Minneapolis, MN are: Environmental Test Chambers — One of Darwin Chambers' top-selling chambers, our environmental chambers are quiet enough to keep in a laboratory setting, easy to clean, repair, and upgrade, extremely reliable, and perfect for laboratory use, offering unparalleled temperature and humidity control. They offer a temperature range of 2℃ to 50℃, and more extreme temperatures are possible through optional upgrades to construction. Stability Test Chambers — Our stability test chambers not only meet, but exceed FDA and ICH requirements. Our stability chambers are trusted in numerous different industries, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, medical device, therapeutic pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical stress testing, and other research purposes both in Minneapolis, MN and around the globe. Other popular stability options include stability refrigerators and stability freezers. Material Test/Cure Chambers — These are great for the harshness of precision temperature and humidity control in concrete, asphalt, and related industries. Contrary to most of "testing" currently on the market, these chambers offer unmatched construction and results. Altitude Test Rooms — We partner with Colorado Altitude Training (CAT), located in Boulder, Colorado, to offer a state-of-the-art chamber for altitude simulation. Our units can reduce the oxygen levels from 20.9% to 15.2%, while the pressure stays the same. Our altitude testing units have been used by numerous well-known clients, including the U.S. Speed Skating Team, Harvard University, Doha Sports Hospital, College of William and Mary, Mayo Clinic, Tour de France winners and many more. Freeze/Thaw Test Chambers — These are perfect for Minneapolis, MN scientists who need ramp/soak controls. These chambers permit you to study if your product will remain stable under various conditions. During the freeze/thaw cycle your subject undergoes a series of extreme temperature fluctuations that it might be subject to 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 medication, food and beverage, and cosmetic 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 standard control at the sensor of ±0.2℃ and ±0.3%RH. Our exclusive ultrasonic humidification system does not allow for hot spots in the chamber and greatly decreases required maintenance costs. Have other research needs in Minneapolis, MN?
