WHO Cones Test Frames or Surfaces
Product Description for WHO Cone Test Frame
Durable and Easy-to-Clean Material:
The WHO cone test frame is made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand cleaning with polar solvents, ensuring long-term usability and reliability in laboratory settings.
Precise Design for Reliable Testing:
- Each frame includes four evenly spaced holes within 25x25 cm squares, enabling up to four cone replicates per sample of material.
- The holes, measuring 11-12 cm in diameter, are designed to ensure direct contact between test mosquitoes and the test material, minimizing interference from the frame.
Secure Attachment of Test Materials:
- Use tape, clips, or other securing options to affix test materials and cones to the frame.
- The frame ensures that the test material is neither stretched nor compressed, maintaining its natural properties during the assay.
- Cones are securely attached to prevent accidental trapping or escape of mosquitoes, ensuring accurate test results.
Alternative Frame Configuration:
For added flexibility, a two-frame system can be utilized. The bottom frame holds the test sample and cone, while a second frame overlays them. Both frames are held together, keeping the test sample and cones securely affixed in place.
Consistent Testing Angles:
- The frame can be positioned at a 45 dec to 60 dec angle, ensuring consistency across studies.
- Uniform angling guarantees standardized results and minimizes variability in mosquito exposure.
Additional Features:
- Frames are designed with clear labelling areas for easy identification of test samples.
- Lightweight and easy to handle, making it suitable for various laboratory setups.
This product is ideal for researchers conducting bioassays for evaluating ITNs or similar materials, adhering to WHO standards.
