If you're search for the highest-quality test chambers, call Darwin today at (314) 534-3111 or contact us online. What Are Test Chambers? Test chambers are enclosed spaces used to conduct scientific experiments or test the effects of environmental conditions on products or biological specimens. 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 invented the first environmental test chamber on his front porch in Holland, MI in 1951, by purposing his home freezer to allow for temperatures of -87℃. He sold it to General Motors Heat Treat Lab, who quickly asked Conrad to produce another two. Ever since, hundreds of manufacturers have developed 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, Oakland, CA researchers can create environments that would be impossible to duplicate outside of a test chamber. Different Kinds of Test Chambers in Oakland, CA Darwin Chambers initially introduced our stability chambers to the Oakland, CA community in 2003 as the original large-capacity thermoelectric-cooled pharmaceutical test chambers. We've been innovating ever since, incorporating our technologies and our skills to deliver chambers that researchers in any field can count on. A few of our best-selling test chambers in Oakland, CA are: Environmental Test Chambers — One of our best-selling products, our environmental chambers are quiet enough to keep in a laboratory setting, easy to clean, highly reliable, and perfect for laboratory use, providing unequaled precisions. They offer a temperature range of 2℃ to 50℃, and more extreme temperatures are possible through optional upgrades to components. Stability Test Chambers — Our stability test chambers not only meet, but exceed FDA and ICH guidelines. 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 Oakland, CA and around the globe. We also offer 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. Unlike most of "testing" system available to control temperature/humidity for engineering demands, these chambers offer unmatched construction and results. Altitude Test Rooms — We partner with Colorado Altitude Training (CAT) in Boulder, Colorado, to offer a state-of-the-art unit for altitude simulation. Our units can simulate 9,000 feet at sea level, 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, U.A.E., College of William and Mary, Mayo Clinic, Pro cycling Team and many more. Freeze/Thaw Test Chambers — These chambers are perfect for Oakland, CA companies looking for ramp/soak controls. These chambers permit you to see if your product will remain stable under extreme conditions. During the freeze/thaw cycle your subject undergoes a series of extreme temperature fluctuations that it might 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 great for ASTM materials testing, as well as testing for prescriptions, food and beverage, and personal care products. They have a temperature range of -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 within the unit and greatly reduces required maintenance expenses. Have other research needs in Oakland, CA?
