Drosophila vial stopper
Various containers are used in laboratories, such as cups, bottles, beakers, test tubes, but also vials. Vials are glass containers that can be used to store various liquids, as well as to grow, transport or handle insects such as fruit flies. Fruit flies are also called Drosophila, so the vials in which they are stored are called Drosophila vials. These insects are bred and preserved for the purpose of conducting various medical, microbiological and genetic research. All scientists who perform these experiments must take care that the containers with fruit flies are optimally closed, so that they do not come out. Drosophila vial stopper is an indispensable part of this equipment, because it ensures the sealing of Drosophila vials, but at the same time protects these insects from adverse external influences.
If the laboratory vessels were not well sealed, contaminants (dust, oxygen, microorganisms) would enter, and the contents would also be exposed to light, which often leads to its decomposition. Drosophila vial stopper is the best way to ensure the reliability of laboratory test results on fruit music. Our Drosophila vial stoppers are made of rubber, which is an inert material, so you can be sure that there will be no chemical reaction and destruction of the vial contents.
In our offer you can find a large number of different Drosophila vial stoppers, and it is crucial to determine in advance which dimensions of the stopper are right for you, to ensure that your vials are properly closed. The stoppers have a conical shape, so that their lower part is narrower and allows for proper adhesion to the Drosophila vial. The lower part of the stopper should also be narrower than the opening of the vial so that it can be optimally sealed. If you are not sure which size of Drosophila vial stopper is the best fit, contact us and we will help you find exactly what you need.
