Y-Tube Olfactometer with Metal Mesh for Tick Movement Studies

Our Y-tube olfactometer is designed specifically for studying tick behavior and olfaction preferences. Ticks require a rough or textured surface to move effectively, and our Y-tube is lined with metal mesh to meet this requirement.

Key Features:

• Optimized for Tick Movement:

• Ticks have specialized claws and pads that are adapted to cling to surfaces but struggle on smooth glass.

• The metal mesh lining inside the Y-tube provides the necessary grip, allowing ticks to move naturally without slipping.

• Accurate Behavioral Studies:

• The mesh ensures ticks exhibit their natural movement patterns, enabling precise behavioral analysis during olfaction preference tests.

• It prevents skewed results that can occur when ticks cannot move properly on smooth surfaces.

• Durable and Easy to Maintain:

• The metal mesh is chosen for its durability and ease of cleaning, ensuring consistent surface conditions over repeated experiments.

Lining the Y-tube with metal mesh is essential for effective and accurate tick studies in olfactometer experiments, making it an indispensable tool for work on sooth legged insects like mites and ticks.
