Advanced Prokopack Aspirator for Efficient Insect Collection

Ideal Tool for Mosquito and Sandfly Sampling with Enhanced Portability and High-Performance Features.

The Improved Prokopack Aspirator Model 1419 was developed for indoor sampling of resting mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti, anophelines, and Culex. Aspiration of resting adults produce collections of both sexes and all physiological stages directly from their resting sites, allowing better estimations of species diversity, abundance, sex ratio, age structure, and physiological status (Silver 2008). At 23 ounces (650 g) it is light weight and highly maneuverable; with the included extension pole the unit can sample from ground level up to 13 feet (4 m). This enables collections to be made on upper walls, ceilings, and under furniture. Also included with the 1419 is (1) a 12 volt 12 amp hr gelled-electrolyte battery, the extension pole, six collection cups and lids with stainless steel mosquito mesh, a universal voltage (input 100-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz) automatic charger with an output of 5.0 amps per hr) permitting complete recharging in 2.5 hours. Run time is four hours.

Features

Highly maneuverable aspirator for resting adults.

Four hour run time.

Design Characteristics

Our Prokopack aspirator incorporates several significant improvements to the original design. By optimizing the air flow we have improved intake air speed by 15%, reduced current consumption by 33% and thereby increased run time between battery recharging to four hours.

Using the supplied 12 volt 12 amp hr battery will provide the performance indicated below; the darker line is for the standard (mosquito) mesh screen in the collection cup, the lighter line reflects the fine mesh sandfly screen collection cup:
