Insect Chambers

Designed especially for Drosophila, BioCold makes the industry's only insect incubator with a lifetime guarantee against evaporator corrosion and leaks. All of our insect chambers come equipped with an all stainless steel coil with no exposed fins for exceptional durability in corrosive insect rearing environments.

In traditional incubators, copper tubes and aluminum fins quickly corrode when exposed to the propionic acid in drosophila media. Other manufacturers extend the life of an insect chamber evaporator coil by coating it with epoxy, which is a short-term solution at best, extending the life of the coil by a year or two. Only BioCold can offer a lifetime guarantee on its insect chamber evaporator coils.

Hot gas bypass refrigeration with microprocessor-based PID controls ensures precise temperature control in our insect chambers, while our ultrasonic vapor generator offers a reliable and energy-efficient means of humidity control.

All BioCold insect rearing chambers come standard with a glass door for convenient sample viewing. The oversized hot gas bypass conditioning system ensures sufficient capacity for stable operation at 18°C and below.

For diurnal lighting studies, we have incorporated a new programmable digital timer with 5-1-1 daily and hh:mm settings maximum flexibility. Drosophila chambers with diurnal lighting option also come equipped with a light-proof aluminum door cover to provent interference with the lighting conditions inside the insect chamber.

All BioCold insect rearing chambers come with a 12 month warranty on all parts and six months on all labor. Lifetime guarantee on the stainless steel evaporator coil. Extended warranties available upon request.
