150 to 200 µm Fine Nylon Mesh Insect Rearing Cages with Aluminum Frame, Transparent Panel and Front Access Sleeve

Innovative Modular Containment System for Entomological Research 

Aluminum cages with ultra-fine nylon mesh and transparent side panel, designed for the secure containment and visual observation of whiteflies and other tiny insects.

The flek-AL-NF-MC series cages combine ultra-fine nylon mesh on five of their sides with a transparent panel on the remaining side, offering reliable containment of tiny insects like whiteflies along with direct visibility for behavior observation and documentation. The aluminum profile frame provides rigidity and precision, even in confined laboratory spaces.

These cages are widely used in early-stage whitefly studies, mobility or survival trials, routine monitoring in resistance or transmission bioassays, host plant preference evaluations, no-choice tests, feeding and oviposition behavior studies, vertical dispersal tracking, trap validation, video documentation of flight behavior, and comparative research between greenhouse and field conditions.

Their design facilitates the incorporation of image or video capture systems for real-time behavior analysis, as well as the comparison of multiple crops or treatments within the same trial.

Key Features

• Ultra-fine nylon mesh (150-200 microns) that prevents the escape of tiny insects such as whiteflies.
• Transparent side panel for direct observation and documentation without opening the cage.
• Aluminum profile frame, durable and designed for repeated laboratory use.
• Sleeve-type front opening for safe handling, feeding, and sampling.
• Compatible with image or video capture systems for real-time behavior analysis.
• Available in vertical and horizontal formats for flight, dispersal, or tall plant growth studies.
