Product Details
The Standard Berlese Funnel is a reliable and efficient tool used for extracting arthropods and other small invertebrates from soil, leaf litter, compost, and organic debris samples. Widely used in entomology, ecology, biodiversity studies, and soil fauna research, the Berlese Funnel operates on the principle of driving organisms downward through a sample into a collection container.
Designed with a lightweight aluminum framework, the system weighs only approximately 1.55 kg including the frame, making it highly suitable for field surveys, wilderness studies, and laboratory applications. The detachable and stackable construction allows for easy transportation, storage, and rapid assembly at sampling sites.
The Standard Berlese Funnel is particularly useful in locations where access to electricity is limited or unavailable, providing researchers with a practical and portable extraction solution.
