Insect Rearing
Mastered
Create the ideal environment for your insect research with Caron’s Insect Rearing Chamber. Tailored for drosophila and other flying insects, these chambers are built to last, featuring an electrostatic-coated refrigeration coil and a robust stainless steel interior. Our “clean chamber” design offers a snap-out interior for easy cleaning and an optional two-hour H2O2 sterilization cycle to eradicate mold and mites completely. Customize your setup with our optional LED lighting which includes full-spectrum and drosophila-specific “no blue” variants as well as an external controlled humidification system. With Caron, advancing your insect research has never been simpler.

All Caron chambers require ph-neutral water of between 50K Ohms and 1Meg Ohms resistivity. This type of water can be obtained from distilled, reverse osmosis (RO) or deionized (DI) sources. Caron offers a system, the CRSY condensate recirculator, for facilities without a house water system.
Less pure water, with resistivity less than 50K Ohms, can lead to difficult to remove mineral deposits on system components, or within the chamber. Water of greater purity, such as ultrapure or Water For Injection (WFI) above 1 Meg Ohm can attack key unit components, causing damage not covered under warranty. See our Water Specifications Bulletin for more details.
