The S12 Aspirator with 12 mm Pick-up Straw with Blowing Kit is a professional-grade entomological device developed for efficient and safe collection of insects, especially when dealing with larger species or bulk sampling requirements. It is widely used in both laboratory and field-based insect research programs.

The key feature of this model is the 12 mm diameter pick-up straw, which allows smoother airflow and reduces the chances of blockage, making it suitable for collecting larger insects such as beetles, flies, and clusters of mosquitoes. Compared to smaller variants, this size improves efficiency when handling higher volumes of specimens.

Unlike traditional aspirators, this unit is equipped with a blowing kit system, which replaces mouth suction with a manual airflow mechanism. This significantly reduces the risk of inhaling harmful particles, allergens, or contaminants—an important safety feature when working with insects collected from waste, carcasses, or contaminated environments.

The aspirator includes a filtered collection chamber that prevents insects or debris from reaching the user while maintaining gentle airflow to avoid damage to delicate specimens. The solid collection vial system allows easy transfer and storage of captured insects without additional handling steps .

Constructed from high-quality plastic materials, the device is lightweight, durable, and suitable for prolonged use. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling during extended fieldwork.

This aspirator is ideal for entomology laboratories, vector control programs, ecological studies, and mosquito research facilities. It is especially useful for live insect collection, behavioral observation, and sample transfer, where both precision and safety are critical.
