Y-tube - Stem & Arms (L60mm, Ø20mm)
The Y-Tube – Stem & Arms (L60mm, Ø20mm) is a compact precision glass apparatus designed for insect behavioral and olfactory studies. It enables accurate odor-choice assays by allowing insects to select between two airflow paths under controlled laboratory conditions. Here, L denotes length and Ø denotes diameter, defining the airflow path dimensions.

Product Details
The Y-Tube – Stem & Arms (L60mm, Ø20mm) is a compact laboratory glass apparatus designed for entomological research and controlled olfactory experiments. Its equal dimensions for both stem and arms ensure balanced airflow distribution, making it ideal for uniform odor delivery and accurate behavioral analysis.
Manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass, the Y-tube provides excellent transparency, durability, and resistance to chemical exposure. The 60 mm length and 20 mm diameter offer sufficient space for insect movement while maintaining controlled airflow conditions.
The Y-shaped design allows insects to be introduced through the stem and choose between two arms carrying different odor stimuli. This setup is widely used to evaluate insect attraction, repellency, and preference, making it a reliable tool for behavioral studies.
The smooth internal surface supports laminar airflow with minimal turbulence, ensuring reproducible and consistent experimental results. Its transparent construction allows clear observation of insect movement, while the compact design enables easy integration with air compressors, airflow controllers, charcoal filters, and humidifier systems.
