The SP6 aspirator/pooter has a significant advantage in using the BugDorm-5061 Ventilated Vial as the collection chamber. This vial can be easily removed, closed, and replaced, allowing for quick storage of collected insects and a seamless transition to a new vial for the next collection. This eliminates the need for complicated procedures when transferring insects on-site, and the ventilated vial can also keep the captured insect alive. The Ø6mm insect pick-up straw can be trimmed or replaced as needed, providing convenience and cost-effectiveness. The front vial cap features a check valve to prevent insects from escaping, while the rear vial cap has a foam filter to prevent the operator from inhaling foreign objects.
For easy operation and hygiene, the SP6 insect aspirator can be used with our Palm-sized Vacuum Cleaner and transferred into a mechanical one. Simply remove the check valve, foam filter, and silicone tube from the SP6 aspirator and connect the aspirator body to the vacuum cleaner.
