INVICTUS NEXT-GEN® Drosophila Incubators feature state-of-the-art thermoelectric cooling technology, unmatched by any other Drosophila incubator on the market. Nearly every component in these chambers can easily be serviced within minutes with basic hand tools, meaning no more expensive service bills. These quiet, sleek incubators are equipped with user-friendly touchscreen controllers that have a built-in alarm and mite cycle program. These touchscreen controllers are fully programmable at 24 set points, so the incubator can be programmed to automatically adjust temperature at up to 24 time intervals. The double door model is finished with a brushed aluminum exterior. These chambers are the only double-door thermoelectrically cooled incubators currently available. This model includes both timed LED lighting and the addition of the ultrasonic humidification system for additive humidity control.

INVICTUS NEXT-GEN® Incubators are protected with the best warranty available on the market. The warranty includes 1 year all labor, 2 year all parts, and 7 years on the thermoelectric cooling unit. All INVICTUS NEXT-GEN chambers are manufactured for Genesee Scientific exclusively by Darwin Chambers Company. Since thermoelectric technology only allows either side of the block to become relatively hotter or cooler than the ambient temperature, thermoelectric models can only cool up to 7° C from ambient temperature. Note: If end user wants to lower humidity we recommend (customer facility supplied) compressed dry air. For basic compressed air brought to chambers: A compressor with 100-150psi capability, regulated to 70psi is required. The larger the storage tank, the better, to limit compressor cycling (dependent upon usage/settings). An automatic condensed water removal system and multistage filter is required (such as 59-836). Exact cfm requirements and dewpoint of compressed air will depend on specific customer applications. Darwin Chambers tests models with -40 degrees C dewpoint air, but specific applications may need lower or higher dewpoint air. We make no further specifications or other recommendations beyond these items. The air supply connection uses 1/4” OD polyethylene tubing. A (customer facility supplied) compressor capable of providing 5 sCFM of air at 70-90 PSI (For single Chamber needing dry air), is recommended for use on our chambers. ( chamber requires max of 3.3sCFM) This air source should be stripped of moisture with some form of dryer and filter to ensure the line does not become saturated with moisture and debris. The compressed dried air must have a dew point lower than the desired chamber set point. We make no further specifications or other recommendations (Tank size, duty cycle, dB, Electric power, or HP). The air supply connection uses ¼” OD polyethylene tubing. Tanks of compressed air not acceptable for long term use. Chamber set points that are lower dew points than ambient conditions will require longer run times than chambers having a dew point at or above ambient dew point, for air compressors. Compressors not meeting these specifications could cause more compressor ware and longer recovery times for chamber to reach set point and/ or performance. For multiple chambers use (Chamber MAX sCFM) 3.3 * Amount of Chambers * 1.5 = sCFM needed. Flow rate is adjustable per chamber. Less sCFM helps to prevent overshoot. More sCFM to achieve lower dew point rapidly. Tanks of compressed air not acceptable. Humidified models also require a Type 3 water source. Filters can be sold separately if Type 3 water is unavailable.
