LabRepCo 27 Cu Ft Drosophila Chamber with Programmed Lighting
Item#: LPD-27-SD-PL2LabRepCo 27 Cu Ft Drosophila Chamber with Programmed Lighting is designed for controlled insect rearing, circadian rhythm studies, and light-sensitive drosophila research in academic and life science laboratories. The chamber maintains stable temperatures from 5°C to 50°C using forced-air circulation to deliver uniform horizontal airflow and consistent environmental conditions across all shelf levels. Integrated programmable lighting controls allow researchers to simulate precise day and night cycles for photoperiod and behavioral studies, while the solid opaque door design blocks external light contamination during dark phases. Corrosion-resistant evaporator coatings are engineered to withstand acidic conditions generated by insect populations and drosophila media, supporting long-term durability in entomology applications. Removable shelving, smooth interior surfaces, internal utility power access, and optional humidity and programmable control upgrades provide flexibility for advanced insect research workflows.

Environmental Control Systems
- Temperature Range: 5°C to 50°C. Optimized for standard rearing (typically 18°C–25°C) as well as heat-stress and cold-tolerance protocols.
- Uniformity: Forced-air circulation ensures consistent horizontal airflow across all shelf levels, eliminating hot spots and maintaining stable conditions throughout the chamber.
- Safety Monitoring: Features an independent high and low temperature fail-safe alarm system with audible and visual alerts to protect sensitive research populations.
Specialized Lighting & Diurnal Control
- Circadian Programming: Integrated clock controlled lighting systems allow researchers to simulate precise day/night cycles.
- Insect-Specific Spectrum: Standard units include cool white fluorescent or LED lighting. Optional narrow-spectrum lighting (such as amber or "red light" for behavioral observation) is
available. - Safety Interlocks: Opaque solid doors prevent external light contamination during dark cycles, maintaining the integrity of photoperiod studies.
Technical Access & Utility
- Internal Power: Protected duplex outlet located inside the chamber for powering ancillary equipment such as mixers or shakers.
- Optional Access Ports: 1-inch minimum diameter port(s) with a silicone plug allows for the routing of external sensors, probes, or gas lines without compromising the chamber's seal.
Durable Construction for Entomology
- Corrosion Resistance: Specially coated evaporator coils designed to withstand the acidic environment created by large insect populations and fruit fly media.
- Easy Sanitation: Removable shelving and smooth interior surfaces allow for thorough decontamination between experiments.
- Mobility: Heavy-duty, lockable casters are standard on all floor models for easy placement and facility cleaning.
Custom Configuration Options
- Humidity Control: Ultrasonic humidification with precise moisture regulation.
- Dimmable Lighting: Digital dimming controls to modify lighting intensity.
- Microprocessor Upgrades: Multi-step programmable controllers for complex temperature and lighting ramps.
