The flek-AL-NF-M(B) Series: Precision Insect Rearing Cages for Tiny Arthropods

The flek-AL-NF-M(B) Series represents the pinnacle of specialized enclosure design for entomological research involving the smallest and most delicate insects. These professional-grade cages are engineered specifically for rearing and studying whiteflies, thrips, aphids, and tiny parasitoids—insects that demand exceptional containment precision and environmental control. Backed by a lightweight yet rigid aluminum frame and ultra-fine nylon mesh, these cages deliver uncompromising quality for research institutions demanding the highest standards.

The naming convention encapsulates each cage's sophisticated engineering:

The ultra-fine mesh design is engineered to prevent escape of the smallest pests while simultaneously maintaining optimal airflow and humidity control—critical factors for the survival and health of delicate insect specimens. The external frame architecture eliminates interior obstructions, maximizing visibility for behavioral observation and ensuring effortless cleaning between experiments. A strategically positioned front sleeve opening enables safe, intuitive access for feeding, specimen sampling, and cage maintenance while minimizing escape risk during routine handling. The black mesh provides superior contrast for observing insect behavior and reduces reflective glare in laboratory settings.

The flek-AL-NF-M(B) Series excels across a diverse range of specialized entomological and agricultural research scenarios:

Whitefly and thrips rearing – Colony establishment and population studies

Plant-insect interaction trials – Behavioral and physiological research

Insecticide resistance testing – Efficacy evaluation and resistance monitoring

Quarantine-safe insect containment – Biosecurity and regulatory compliance

Parasitoid research – Natural enemy breeding and parasitism studies

Precision bioassays – Toxicological and ecological testing protocols

The flek-AL-NF-M(B) Series has earned widespread confidence among agricultural universities, entomology laboratories, and crop protection research centers worldwide. Its reputation is built on proven performance in demanding research environments where specimen integrity, data reliability, and operational efficiency are non-negotiable.

This series represents a paradigm shift in small insect containment—combining the precision of purpose-built laboratory equipment with the convenience and sustainability of modern, reusable design. Whether you're conducting critical resistance monitoring, maintaining parasitoid colonies, studying whitefly-plant interactions, or pursuing groundbreaking research with the tiniest arthropods, the flek-AL-NF-M(B) provides the precision, reliability, and visibility your research demands.
