• A complete integrated system for Drosophila Research and Activity Monitoring


• HDPE-Lined corrosion-proof interior


• Switches between heating and cooling automatically


• Extremely energy efficient for near-ambient temperature incubation without use of a compressor or Freon-type gases
  
• White highly-reflective interior for more even lighting


• Recirculates internal atmosphere, to maintain proper elevated humidity

• Built-in interior jacks to accommodate 5 to 20 TriKinetics Activity Monitors (TriKinetics has been providing the industry standard equipment for Drosophila activity monitoring since 1987, and now it is possible to get a completely integrated activity monitoring system that incorporates their equipment so that you don't have to design your own.)


• Light-Tight Build to prevent accidental entrainment

• Log temperature and lighting data


• Check and change temperature and lighting parameters from any computer or cell phone with an internet connection


• Be notified immediately by email, IM or cell phone text message if someone opens your dark incubator and lets in light, the bulb begins failing, or there is a temperature alarm—saving you days, weeks, or even months of repeated work due to bad data


• Easily run lighting and temperature regimens with non-24 hour days


• Establish detailed, complex temperature and lighting regimens such as replicating the lighting and temperature of New York City for 1988 vs. 2008.

The Drosophila CO2Work Station allows flies to be anaesthetized with unparalleled precision, convenience, and safety. An electronic foot pedal allows the user to deliver just the right amount of CO2 to keep flies asleep. This saves a lot of CO2, compared with continuous-flow systems, is much less likely to inadvertently kill important specimens due to over-anaesthetizing, is much more convenient than systems that require users to reach around and hand-operate valves in the middle of genetics, and is safer, for all concerned, than using organic solvents as anaesthetics.
