For rearing insect colonies consider to get a bigger containers. For studying insect-plant interactions visit insect rearing bags section here.

Description:

Small to large in size 240 - 960ml with good visibility, these pint-sized containers are ideal for raising or breeding small colonies of disease vectors in labs with restricted space.

• Can be conveniently carried to the field to collect small collections of mosquitoes
• Handy size made these containers convenient to carry to field collection in multiple numbers that can service to store and distinguish location-wise collections

Applications:

1. Larval assays: No fear of mixing with accidentally fallen containers since the mesh prevent flowing of larvae along with treated water. The locked lid never come out unless you open the locks

2. Carrying adults: Traditional carrying insects between spaces within the laboratory or between institutions require fastening mesh around the container, which can easily come off with mild disturbances

3. Separately rear field collected larvae until they become pupae so microbial infections will not spread in the insectary from field collected larvae

4. Can be used to hatch larvae till 2 instars. Transfer the grown larvae into rectangular enamel trays
