About This Product
Fruit flies need to be kept still while they are sorted and examined. With this kit, a wand is dipped into the solution and inserted into the culture tube, which is kept upright for two minutes, after which the flies are anaesthetised. Because the wand controls the dose and no separate anaesthetiser is needed, the method is simple and safer than using ether. Export supply of the Fly Snooze Kit can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Georgia, Palestine, Japan, Italy and Nicaragua.
