150 to 300 µm Fine Nylon Mesh Insect Rearing Cages with Aluminum Frame and Front Access Sleeve

Large Modular Containment System for High-Level Entomological Research with Absolute Control

Aluminum cages with ultra-fine nylon mesh, designed for the secure containment of whiteflies and other tiny insects in laboratory and field studies.

The flek-AL-NF-M series cages are constructed with an aluminum profile frame and ultra-fine nylon mesh on all sides, offering reliable containment even for extremely small insects such as whiteflies. The ultra-fine mesh allows air and light to pass through while effectively blocking insect escape, maintaining appropriate conditions for observation and study.

These cages are used in a wide variety of research applications, including the monitoring of initial whitefly colonies, biosecurity trials on leaf discs, gene silencing studies, evaluations of residual exposure to plant protection products, resistance trials in plant lines, insect-host dynamics studies, feeding behavior analysis, phytopathogen transmission studies, and epidemiological forecasting models.

Thanks to their rigid frame and modular design, these cages adapt to both laboratory bench setups and greenhouse installations, allowing the incorporation of sticky traps, camera systems, internal mesh partitions, or multiple host plants according to the needs of the study.

Key Features

• Ultra-fine nylon mesh that prevents the escape of tiny insects such as whiteflies.
• Aluminum profile frame, durable and designed for repeated laboratory use.
• Allows the passage of air and light, favoring observation under growth lamps or full-spectrum lighting.
• Compatible with the incorporation of sticky traps, camera systems, or internal mesh partitions.
• Available in vertical and horizontal formats for flight, dispersal, or tall plant growth studies.
• Modular design adaptable to laboratory, greenhouse, or field setups.
