insectPRO CDC Backpack Aspirator for Insect Collections
insectPRO Backpack aspirator is one of the very important battery operated aspirator for the collection of insects in enmasse for both agricultural and medical entomological research. The uniqueness of the backpack aspirator lies in carrying and collection of the insects. All electrical and other components are stuffed in a portable backpack bag while the collection aspirator can be held to the bag (as shown in the picture). The total weight to the aspirator ranges from 5.9 kg to 9.9 kg depending on the type of battery that we intended to carry with the unit. The aspirator is designed to run from 4.5v to 12v batteries. The offered flexibility in battery offerings is particularly helpful to reduce weight of the aspirator and to choose the right battery for the use. For example, to pull small insects like mosquitoes 4.5v batteries are good to go, while sucking flying insects of agricultural importance like moths and other lepidopteran insects 12v batteries are particularly useful. Furthermore, the aspirator straw is colored to black as approaching aspirator straw can’t be seen by insects thereby facilitating quick collections. Furthermore, the extended aspirator straw need not be carried around in hand. The backpack unit has a provision to hand the aspirator straw so that hands free carrying the unit is possible.
Advantages of insectPRO backpack compared to existing models:
Light weight
Easy to carry, hands free carrying, easy to store and transport insect samples
Unlimited number of samples can be collected without being restricted to the number of sample cups to 4, 6 or 8 etc.
Speed control option provides greater flexibility in using the instrument while proving useful in variety of situations
Saves hours of time per visit there by reducing the cost of conducting each of the field trips. It has been found that one aspirator does the work of 3-4 technical persons.
Catching flying insects is possible as suction is continuously working. Targeting or randomly swaying the collection aspirator is easy which improves the total number collection per site as well as overall efficiency of the insect collection machinery
The cost of collection of insect samples is significantly reduced and there is no need for technical expertise to collect insects. The basic principle of the unit is to collect all types of insects as possible from the field and sort them in the laboratory.
Super easy to collect insects from under furniture, from overhead tanks, from tyres, from abandoned things spread out in the field, from bushes, from the water etc.
