This novel monitoring trap for mosquitoes was developed by BioGents GmbH (Germany) utilizing patent<br />
pending technology. The trap consists of an easy-to-transport, collapsible white cylinder with white mesh<br />
covering the top. In the middle of the mesh cover is a black tube through which a down flow is created by a<br />
12V DC fan that causes mosquitoes in the vicinity of the opening to be sucked into a catch bag.<br />
The catch bag is located above the suction fan to avoid damage to specimens passing through the fan. The<br />
air then exits the trap through the mesh top. This design generates ascending current similar to that produced<br />
by a human host, both in its direction, geometrical structure, and chemical composition of the attractants.<br />
Attractants are given off by the BG-Lure®, a mesh dispenser that releases a combination of non-toxic substances<br />
found on human skin (lactic acid, ammonia, and fatty acids). The lure releases the long-lasting attractant<br />
for up to five months. An Octenol lure, active for two months, is also provided.<br />
Originally developed to attract the yellow fever or dengue mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti, laboratory<br />
and field tests show that the trap is also attractive for a range of other anthropophagic mosquitoes. Trials have<br />
also demonstrated good catch rates for the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus, A. polynesiensis), southern<br />
and northern house mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus, C. pipiens), and malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles<br />
species). Carbon dioxide is not required to catch Aedes aegypti, A. polynesiensis, or A. albopictus, but<br />
it can be added as an attractant for other species.<br />
The trap features a unique pop-up design. No tools are required for assembly. A BG-Lure® and an Octanol<br />
lure are included, along with two catch bags and a two-handled green nylon ripstock carrying case. A power<br />
source of 7.5 - 12V DC is required (trap draws 300 mA) . Dimensions: collapsed - diameter 35 cm, height 10<br />
cm; assembled - diameter 35 cm, height ~40 cm. Weight: 1.5 kg (3.4 lbs.).<br />
A useful accessory to this trap is the #2823 CO² gas regulator kit designed for use in areas where dry ice<br />
cannot be obtained or is not desired.<br />

Specimen Handling Cage<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>’s unique collapsible cage was designed for handling live insects<br />
in a controlled environment. Its many uses include:<br />
$ Unpacking live insect shipments<br />
$ Working with live insects<br />
$ Transferring live insects from one container to another<br />
Specimens or containers are placed inside the cage through a frontdoor<br />
opening. The cage is accessed through two elastic-banded<br />
sleeves on the front of the cage, allowing the user to work inside the<br />
cage with both hands.<br />
The aluminum frame cage is 24 x 24 x 24" (61cm), screened with<br />
high-visibility, white nylon no-see-um mesh. The front of the cage has<br />
a clear vinyl observation window in the upper half, and two no-seeum<br />

This vector control product is a modified version of <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s 2801A EVS trap for collecting mosquitoes and biting<br />
midges (sandflies) attracted to black light. It uses a 4-watt UV blacklight powered by 4 “D” cell batteries located under the<br />
dry ice container and secured with a Velcro strap. Includes separate switches for the light and fan. For transport or<br />
storage, the blacklight tube is removed, and the light sockets are pivoted so that the trap head fits in the CO 2 container.<br />
During testing, this trap ran for more than 36 hours before showing signs of decreased battery strength. If desired, a 4watt<br />
BLB tube may be substituted for the BL tube. See catalog page 38 for complete description of 2801A EVS trap.<br />
An improved collecting cup is made from no-see-um nylon mesh and ripstop nylon skirt. It utilizes a vented 16-ounce<br />
polypropylene jar with modified lid. The vent allows water to drain from the jar and prevents build up of CO 2 emitted from<br />
the trap. The bag is inserted through the lid that is screwed onto the jar. An elastic cord keeps the bag firmly attached to<br />
the trap collar. Before removal, the bag can be closed with a draw string and cord lock. After removal, the bag can be<br />
refrigerated to stun specimens before transfer to cages or containers. The bag will not fit completely into the trap’s gallon<br />
can due to its larger size.<br />

Professional Series Nets - Extendable Handle<br />
This lightweight insect net handle uses a clutch-lock device to allow extension from<br />
36" up to 69". Fabricated of anodized aluminum, it facilitates fast extension to collect<br />
specimens just out of reach using a standard three-foot handle. One full turn of<br />
the clutch-lock frees the second segment to extend or retract as desired.<br />
The handle is interchangeable with all 7300 series insect and aquatic net rings and<br />
bags described on catalog pages 44 and 45. A 7357 red grip and 7360 red “T” knob<br />
for ring attachment are provided. Not recommended for 21" diameter nets.<br />
The main tube is 3/4" O.D., and the inner tube is<br />
5/8" O.D. Overall length is 36". Weight is 12 oz.<br />

Insulated Dry Ice Bucket for EVS CO 2 Trap<br />
Using this one-gallon, black plastic auxiliary bucket insulated with polyurethane<br />
foam substantially extends the life of dry ice. <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s test results indicate that a<br />
smaller quantity of dry ice lasts longer using this well-insulated pail than a larger<br />
quantity placed in the standard model. (See EVS CO 2 trap description on catalog<br />
page 38.) Savings in dry ice costs offset the cost of the bucket.<br />
The inside lining of the CO 2 container has eight ounces of molded, expanded polyurethane<br />
foam. Bucket comes with handle, hanger chain, foam plug and lid, and “D”<br />
ring for hanging the EVS trap. Four holes drilled in the bottom of the bucket allow<br />
CO 2 gas to escape. Additional holes can be drilled easily if desired. Size: 7-3/4"<br />
high x 6-1/2" diameter (20 x 16.5 cm).<br />
Note: 2801A trap body does not fit inside this bucket due to thickness of the liner.<br />

Mosquito Attractant, “Octanol”<br />
The mosquito attractant “Octanol” is reported to have pheromone-like properties. It is used by<br />
vector control professionals and researchers to enhance the effectiveness of such mosquito<br />
traps as the EVS, CDC, New Jersey, and gravid traps described on catalog pages 38 and 39.<br />
A small amount of the chemical applied to a "wick" placed near the intake of the trap brings in<br />
mosquitoes that may not have been attracted otherwise to the trap area. Packaged in amber<br />
glass bottles. MSDS is provided with each order.<br />

Insect-a-Slip Insect Barrier—Fluon<br />
Insect-a-Slip prevents arthropods from climbing out of traps, cages, or other<br />
containers. It is a fluoropolymer resin (PTFE-30), milky white liquid that can<br />
be applied to any smooth surface such as glass, plastic, or metal. The solution<br />
is brushed or wiped onto the inside top portion of the trap or container.<br />
After it has dried, it forms a slick barrier that prevents arthropods from obtaining<br />
a foothold on the treated area.<br />
This product is packaged in amber glass bottles, available in three sizes.<br />
Safety precaution: Vapors can be liberated that may be hazardous if inhaled.<br />
Open and use Insect-a-Slip only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas using<br />
local exhaust ventilation (LEV). MSDS is provided with each order.<br />

poles. Front, rear, and bottom panels are clear vinyl, allowing optimum observation<br />
of insects. The two side panels are fine 104 x 26 mesh/inch white polyester<br />
netting, and provide ventilation.<br />
The front panel has two access points. A large crescent-shaped zippered panel,<br />
21" (53 cm) across the bottom x 16" (40 cm) high, allows the user to place a host<br />
plant or other material into the cage. The smaller access sleeve located in the<br />
middle of the front panel is 8" (18 cm) diameter x 15" (38) cm long. This permits<br />
specimens, food, or water to be inserted or removed with lowered risk of escape.<br />

Litter Reducer<br />
This great time saver is used to reduce litter to workable quantities for extracting organisms using<br />
the Berlese funnel. From Europe, this beautifully made, two-handed sifter quickly reduces bulky<br />
samples to manageable size prior to final extracting. By placing litter on the internal screen and<br />
shaking with the two handles, the smaller particles fall to the bottom of the sifter where they can be<br />
removed and processed easily.<br />
Two 12" (30.5 cm) diameter screens are provided. The 1 cm screen can be used first and then the<br />
sample can be sifted through the 50 mm screen for further reduction.<br />

Cornell Cabinets for 20 Drawers<br />
Aluminum or Pionite7 covered units accommodate 20 Cornell<br />
drawers. <strong>BioQuip</strong> has made numerous design and manufacturing<br />
improvements to this 2-row design. These cabinets provide<br />
an economical solution for permanent storage of an insect<br />
collection.<br />
Cabinet tops often function as a convenient working area.<br />
However, when floor space is at a premium, they may be<br />
stacked two or three high. Handles can be installed at<br />
bottom of cabinets to facilitate access to stacked units. Please<br />
allow an additional two to three weeks for delivery of cabinets<br />
with this option.<br />
These solidly constructed cabinets feature step-out doors<br />
with two locking “T” handles. The door can be moved away<br />
from the cabinet providing easy access to all drawers in the<br />
unit. To prevent damage during shipment, handles are taped<br />
to the inside cabinet floor or placed in the bottom drawer.<br />

Cornell Cabinets for 25 Drawers<br />
Good design and precise workmanship are evident in full<br />
height Cornell cabinets, and result in durable, virtually airtight<br />
storage units offerred with steel or Pionite7 covering. Resistance<br />
to temperature changes is provided by cellular particle<br />
board and insulation in cabinet walls and doors. These insulating<br />
properties help avoid the adverse effect of temperature<br />
variation on specimens.<br />
Cabinets for 25 drawers feature a sliding work shelf that supports<br />
an insect drawer for handling or observing specimens.<br />
Cabinets have lift-off hinges for door removal, and a 3-point<br />
Cornell Open-Faced Cabinets for 6 or 12 Drawers<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>'s open-faced cabinets feature the same high-quality materials used in fully assembled cabinets.<br />
However, they do not have doors or an exterior finish. Reduced materials cost and production time result<br />
in a substantial cost saving. Cabinets are packed unassembled, and can be sent by UPS or FedEx,<br />
reducing shipping cost by ~50%. They are easy to assemble using a screwdriver and hammer.<br />
Cabinet sides, top, bottom, and center supports are 3/4" Melamine-coated particle board, with a smooth, white<br />
finish that requires no further treatment. Drawer runners are the same extruded aluminum type used in standard<br />
cabinets. Plastic, non-marring guides on the bottom protect floors and cabinets.<br />
These units provide important, affordable options for the individual collector or for institutional collections. They<br />
can be joined to form “blocks” of cabinets. For example, if five 2512KD cabinets are placed side by side, and<br />
five additional units are placed on top for a second tier, the resulting module will house 120 Cornell drawers.<br />
The cost of housing 120 drawers in this footprint is less than 50% of that for standard 12 drawer cabinets.<br />
“Blocks” of open-faced cabinets can also be placed back to back, bolted together and placed on rollers to make<br />
them mobile, creating a type of compactor system. An individual collector can purchase single units as<br />
needed, and dedicate a wall to housing a collection with these attractive cabinets.<br />

PINE<br />
Cornell University Drawers<br />
Widely recognized as the finest insect storage drawers made<br />
commercially in the U.S., <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s Cornell drawers feature<br />
one-piece construction. This unique production method employs<br />
tolerances measured in thousandths of an inch. The<br />
unique design assures exact fit of the glass top to the drawer<br />
frame, and discourages escape of fumigants and infestation<br />
by damaging pests. Our drawers are used in North American<br />
compactor systems that do not have sealed storage.<br />
The hardboard drawer bottom is glued into a recessed<br />
groove on the inside of the frame 1/8" from the bottom of the<br />
drawer. This superior technique provides a tight seal and<br />
further reduces the possibility of external pest infestation.<br />
Polyethylene foam has been a standard pinning bottom in<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> insect drawers since 1958. Drawers with plastazote<br />
foam (identified by its fine grained cell structure and<br />
smoother appearance) are also featured. Both types of<br />
foam are further described on page 4.<br />
Pine is no longer an economical alternative to hardwoods.<br />
Poplar hardwood has proved to be a good alternative and<br />
costs less than pine. Customer response to poplar drawers<br />
has been positive, and many collections have changed<br />
their call-out for drawers from pine to poplar.<br />
Cornell drawers are manufactured of pine,<br />
poplar hardwood, or fine grain basswood<br />
to the following specifications:<br />
Materials:<br />
$ Pine, poplar, or basswood frame; single<br />
strength glass top<br />
$ 5/16" (8mm) polyethylene foam laminated to<br />
1/8" hardboard bottom, or<br />
$ 3/8" (9mm) plastazote foam laminated to<br />
1/8" hardboard bottom, or<br />
$ 1/8" hardboard bottom for use with unit trays<br />
$ Brass plated & lacquered hardware<br />
Construction:<br />
$ Joints mitered, glued and reinforced with steel<br />
splines<br />
$ Shoulders integral part of drawer frame<br />
$ Bottom glued into recess on inside of drawer<br />
sides<br />
$ Exterior spray finished with sealer and clear<br />
acrylic gloss in compliance with Federal and<br />
State air-quality standards<br />
Optional Drawer Tops with Ultra Violet Block<br />
Ultraviolet radiation is a significant contributor to specimen<br />
deterioration and color fading. <strong>BioQuip</strong> drawers constructed<br />
with Saflex laminated glass or acrylic plastic tops are suggested<br />
for environments where specimens are exposed to<br />
direct or indirect sunlight.<br />
Saflex laminated glass Laminated architectural glass with a clear plastic<br />
interlayer blocks up to 99.6% of UV radiation. It is stable over long periods<br />
and is recommended for situations where the safety of those handling<br />
drawers, or protection of valuable specimens, is a concern. A hammer<br />
blow will shatter the glass, but not penetrate the plastic laminate.<br />
Saflex glass for drawer tops is 5/32" (4 mm) thick, and weighs ~4 lbs. It is<br />
available on special order for Cornell or Cal. Academy drawers for an<br />
additional $33.70 per drawer. Add suffix ‘S’ to the drawer catalog number.<br />

1012 Pine Cornell Drawers Introduced by <strong>BioQuip</strong> in 1956.<br />
These insect storage drawers have been successful because<br />
of their consistently uniform construction and tight<br />
fit. They have a combination cardholder/drawer-pull, and<br />
are sold with or without foam pinning bottoms.<br />
1012 Poplar Cornell Drawers Introduced by <strong>BioQuip</strong> in<br />
1997. These hardwood insect drawers are replacing 1012<br />
pine drawers in some existing collections because they<br />
offer a viable economic alternative. They have a combination<br />
cardholder/drawer-pull, and are sold with or without<br />
foam pinning bottoms.<br />
1013 Basswood Cornell Drawers Outstanding storage<br />
units known for lasting durability and appearance. Options<br />
include white interior drawer side lining, full Cornell<br />
hardware (knob, two cardholders, and four hooks) or knob<br />

Acrylic plastic Clear special acrylic provides an effective alternate<br />
to glass tops. Although not generally visible to the human eye, it<br />
blocks up to 98% of harmful UV from sunlight or fluorescent lamps,<br />
preventing specimens from turning to a dull brown color.<br />
Acrylic tops are indicated in settings where children or groups handle<br />
drawers. The acrylic absorbs far more shock and stress than glass,<br />
making it safer both for those handling cases and for specimens inside.<br />
Acrylic drawer tops are 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick, and weigh 24 oz. Cornell<br />
or California Academy drawers with acrylic UV protection are available<br />
for an additional cost of $21.20 per drawer. They are shipped<br />
with protective paper attached to the lid to be removed by the user on<br />
arrival. Acrylic scratches easily, and use of special acrylic cleaner<br />
and cloth is recommended. Please add the suffix ‘A’ to the drawer<br />
catalog number when placing your order.<br />
Allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery of drawers with Saflex or acrylic tops.<br />

Cornell University System Unit Pinning Trays<br />
Essential for proper orientation of specimens in insect drawers, unit pinning trays also are<br />
useful for safe handling during transfer work, and provide a secure mounting method for<br />
mailing purposes.<br />
Constructed of chipboard covered with white paper, trays feature 1028N or 1028P white<br />
polyethylene foam pinning bottoms press fitted with hot melt adhesive. A size 00 insect<br />
pin may be inserted easily without forceps and without bending the pin. Foam does not<br />
fracture, remains permanently pliable, is unaffected by moisture, and does not rust pins.<br />
A new size of unit tray is available, half-way between a 1025A and 1025AA, providing<br />
optimum use of drawer space for large series or sizes of specimens.<br />
Because polyethylene foam and adhesives are affected by paradichlorobenzene,<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> recommends using 1196 DDVP fumigants described on page 9.<br />
Cornell system unit trays are 1-5/8" (4cm) high.<br />

Cornell Folding Unit Trays<br />
Folding Cornell system unit pinning trays are a <strong>BioQuip</strong> innovation<br />
intended for those with low budgets, or for those whose supply and<br />
storage areas are limited. They have the same dimensions as 1025<br />
series trays listed above, and can be assembled as needed and in<br />
the quantities desired.<br />
Trays are made of heavy white coated chipboard (100% recycled<br />
material), cut and prescored. They fold neatly and easily into sturdy<br />
double-walled trays, and are secured in position by gluing and installing<br />
5/16" 1028N polyethylene foam pinning bottoms. The adhesive is<br />
especially formulated for positive adherence of the foam to the tray<br />
bottom.<br />
Trays are sold in kits of one dozen, and in lots of 100 and 1,000. All 4<br />
sizes of Cornell trays are 4-3/8" wide and 1-5/8" high (112 & 42mm).<br />

for use with unit trays or foam pinning bottoms, or with composition<br />
pinning bottoms. Polyethylene and plastazote foam for superior<br />
pinning surfaces, and additional hardware, described below,<br />
provide a variety of options for these kits.<br />
Drawer sides are milled from one length of pine molding split with<br />
a special cutter to permit matching top and bottom sections. With<br />
average mechanical ability, drawers can be assembled easily by<br />
following the instruction sheet provided with each kit.<br />

Polyethylene Foam<br />
Widely used material for pinning insect<br />
specimens. <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s polyethylene<br />
foam is consistent in texture and<br />
surface, does not fracture, and may<br />
be pinned into repeatedly without<br />
showing pin holes. A size 00 pin may<br />
be inserted without bending or aid of pinning forceps. White<br />
foam is approximately 5/16" (.306" or 8mm) thick, identified<br />
as 4PCF, indicating a density of 4 pounds per cubic foot.<br />
Polyethylene foam sheets are pre-cut to a standard size for<br />
use as pinning bottoms in Cornell, Calif. Academy, and<br />

Foam is 3/8" (9.5mm) thick, and is extremely firm. It holds<br />
an insect pin more securely than 1028N foam, actually<br />
resisting the pin and holding it with a secure grip even<br />
before being inserted completely. Material has the same<br />
chemical characteristics as 1028N foam, and is cut to size<br />
and installed in the same manner.<br />

California Academy System<br />
Cabinets, Drawers & Unit Trays<br />
1010CPFP<br />
California Academy System Drawers<br />
The basic difference between Cornell Univ. and Cal.<br />
Academy systems is that Cal. Academy drawers are .5"<br />
(13 mm) less in height. This design allows more drawers<br />
to be housed in cabinets of the same dimensions. When<br />
used with a size #7 insect pin in unit trays, the shaft of<br />
the pin needs to be shortened slightly.<br />
Numerous improvements have been made to this drawer<br />
during the past 50 years including adaptation of the onepiece<br />
fabrication method whereby the glass top fits the<br />
drawer frame precisely. This is accomplished by milling<br />
to tolerances of thousandths of an inch during the critical<br />
splitting operation. The tight fit significantly reduces<br />
chances of infestation, and eliminates rapid fumigant loss.<br />
Hardboard drawer bottoms are glued into a recessed<br />
groove on the inside of the wood frame 1/8" from the<br />
bottom of the drawer. This design provides a tight seal<br />
and further reduces the possibility of external pest infestation.<br />
Hooks are used primarily for cosmetic uniformity<br />
in existing collections. They are not necessary for holding<br />
the top to the bottom section of a drawer.<br />
Cal. Academy drawers are offered with pine as originally<br />
designed, or poplar hardwood. Customer response to<br />
poplar drawers has been positive, and many collections<br />
have changed their call-out for insect drawers to poplar.<br />

1025V 1025W 1025X 1025Y<br />
Four rows of trays per drawer are used in the U.S.N.M. system.<br />
Trays are constructed of chipboard covered with white paper.<br />
White polyethylene or plastazote foam pinning bottoms are<br />
press fitted with hot melt adhesive. Trays are 1-5/8" high<br />
(41mm).<br />
Silica Gel<br />
Silica gel is a hard granular desiccant, 6-16 mesh.It has the<br />
appearance of crushed glass, is odorless and insoluble. Its<br />
strong affinity for water gives it an adsorption capacity of over<br />
40% of its own weight at 100% relative humidity.<br />
Silica gel prevents mold and mildew, and is essential for collection<br />
maintenance and storage in humid environments. It can be<br />
reused after being fully saturated with water. To reactivate, simply<br />
heat at 250°F for approximately eight hours. Packed in air<br />
tight metal cans with friction lids.<br />

Indicating Silica Gel<br />
Indicating silica gel has the advantage of providing a visual<br />
check for water adsorption level. The 6-16 mesh granular desiccant<br />
is blue when dry, gradually turning pink as saturation is<br />
reached. It is reactivated by heating at 250°F for approximately<br />
8 hours. Packed in air tight metal cans with friction lids.<br />

STORAGE<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>'s USNM drawer is produced from a design modification at<br />
the Smithsonian Institution (U.S. National Museum). The change was<br />
made to facilitate a less complex unit that can be produced more<br />
economically. The drawer incorporates important features of other<br />
insect storage drawers manufactured by <strong>BioQuip</strong>:<br />
$ Close tolerance controls developed by over 50 years of<br />
experience in insect drawer production<br />
$ One-piece construction technique to assure tight fitting,<br />
matching tops to bottoms<br />
These unique features reduce risk of pest infestation and greatly<br />
increase length of time necessary between fumigation.<br />
The drawer is made of basswood sides, with glass top and hardboard<br />
bottom. Standard exterior USNM dimensions are used, but<br />
there is additional interior space from front to back. It accommodates<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> 1025V, W, X and Y unit pinning trays described below. A<br />
finger relief is provided on each side for easy drawer opening, and a<br />
5/8" brass knob is supplied. Foam pinning bottoms are offered as<br />
options if unit trays are not used.<br />
The exterior is spray finished with sealer and dark brown gloss<br />
acrylic. Water borne spray finishes used in this drawer are environmentally<br />
safe, and regulatory compliant.<br />
For institutions or private collections already committed to USNM<br />
system dimensions, <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s hardwood drawer provides high quality,<br />
permanent insect storage protection at a reasonable price.<br />

Fumigant Strip<br />
Dichlorvos fumigant strips provide an effective<br />
method for protecting insect collections. They are<br />
also successful as a fumigant for herbarium specimens<br />
and vertebrate study skins. Their use eliminates<br />
long term undesirable side effects of PDB<br />
and other common fumigants. Because Dichlorvos<br />
protects specimens for a longer period of time than<br />
crystals, it needs replacing less often and is cost<br />
effective.<br />
Pest Strips contain DDVP resins extruded in plastic,<br />
and are packed in sealed foil packets. Size is<br />
6-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1/4". One strip can be cut into 12 or<br />
more small pieces suitable for drawers or boxes.<br />
Although this chemical is used in pet collars and as a hanging<br />
strip for household pest control, it should be kept away from the<br />
skin and food.<br />

Unique, hand-crafted glass fumigant holders have been used in<br />
European collections for more than 100 years. These attractive,<br />
transparent containers provide a quick visual means for<br />
checking fumigant level. Holders are approximately 1" (26 mm)<br />
in diameter x 1" high, with an integral pin 3/8" (10 mm) for insertion<br />
into a drawer or box pinning surface. They are made of high<br />
strength borosilicate glass. <strong>BioQuip</strong> stocks them in two styles<br />
to accommodate either dry or liquid fumigants.<br />
The 1149GD glass holder for granular or solid fumigants has an<br />
open top. The 1149GW for liquid fumigants has an inverted<br />
opening at the center which prevents contents from being spilled<br />

Vaportape7 II strips are effective controlled<br />
release dispensers of DDVP or<br />
Dichlorvos (see 1196 Pest Strip). Originally<br />
developed for use in insect traps,<br />
they are also ideal for long term pest<br />
management inside closed areas such as storage cabinets,<br />
drawers and boxes. These mini-strips offer the advantages of<br />
ready-to-use convenience, and increased product safety since<br />
the DDVP is stored in an inner reservoir.<br />
When activated by cutting off a corner or puncturing the mylar<br />
film with pin holes, the chemical migrates through initially inert,<br />
permeable outer layers. As Vapona on the exposed surfaces<br />
dissipates, a replacement quantity passes from the reservoir to<br />
the surface, maintaining the required concentration for longlasting<br />
protection.<br />
Strips are 1 x 4 x 1/16" thick, sealed in mylar film that is impermeable<br />
to DDVP. They fit neatly between unit trays or may be<br />
pinned to the side of a drawer or box.<br />

Insect Boxes<br />

Standard Insect Box<br />
The original redwood insect box, introduced<br />
by <strong>BioQuip</strong> in 1947. Continues to<br />
be the Schmitt sized box entomologists<br />
prefer for collection storage because of its<br />
sturdy construction, tight fit, and relative<br />
economy. Top and bottom are hinged at the<br />
back, and hooks are provided on the sides.<br />
Due to growing scarcity of commercially<br />
sized redwood trees, the top and bottom<br />
of this box are luan plywood produced<br />
from reclaimed materials.<br />
This is an excellent box for use in<br />
tropical areas as the redwood remains<br />
dimensionally stable through extremes of humidity<br />
and dryness. As the exterior is unfinished, it<br />
may be placed in an oven at low temperature with lid slightly<br />
open to dry out both the box and pinned specimens.<br />
Materials: kiln dried redwood frame; 1/8" luan plywood top<br />
and bottom; 5/16" white polyethylene foam pinning<br />
bottom; brass plated hinges and hooks<br />

Photo Slide Storage System<br />
SAF-T-STOR<br />
STORAGE<br />
Photo Slide Pages<br />
Archival quality SAF-T-STOR photo slide pages provide a completely<br />
flexible, easily referenced filing system for storing 35mm<br />
photo slides safely and inexpensively. No additional equipment<br />
is necessary since the 9-1/2 x 11-1/2" (241 x 292 mm) pages fit<br />
into regular size filing cabinets, desk drawers, or ring binders.<br />
The system uses translucent rigid plastic sheets which are<br />
chemically safe for photographic color emulsions, unlike some<br />
polyvinyl products which can emit a gas that deteriorates slides.<br />
Pages are resistant to temperature variations, humidity, moisture<br />
and chemical migration to meet standards required by scientific<br />
research and education centers, libraries, and museums.<br />
Pages are constructed so that slides may be selected quickly,<br />
and can be viewed on lightboxes or illuminators. They hold 20<br />
slides in any mount—cardboard, metal or glass. Slides are<br />
protected in individual slots, and slipped out of the page with a<br />
fingertip. They can be organized and cataloged by adding standard<br />
pressure sensitive index tabs to the pages. As collections<br />
grow, pages can be added without disturbing or regrouping slides<br />
already filed.<br />
Durable, yet weighing less than 1/2 oz. each, these compact<br />
pages nest into each other to offer the storage economy of 240<br />
slides per inch of filing space.<br />

35mm Negative Pages<br />
Archival PERMA-SAF pages for 35mm negatives are made of<br />
crystal clear polypropylene. Convenient, patented design locks<br />
in flaps for secure filing. Wide pocket openings for easy access<br />
eliminate scratching or bending when inserting or retrieving negatives.<br />
Each page holds 6 strips of 1 to 5 frames.<br />
Negatives can be top loaded when used in 3 ring binders, or<br />
side loaded in file cabinets using hanger bars listed below.<br />

Hanger Bar, Index Tabs & Labels<br />
Easy-access hanging slide file system is created with hanger<br />
bars that attach easily to photo slide or 35mm negative pages.<br />
Bars allow pages to hang on standard file frames in letter size<br />
file drawers. “Hang-free” method permits free air circulation,<br />
preventing moisture build-up which can damage slides. Index<br />
tabs slide easily onto bars to provide highly visible indexing.<br />

50 negative pages in a 3-ring, 1-3/4" black binder with its own<br />
slip-in storage case for protection from dust and light damage.<br />
Binder is lined with Tyvek, recognized for its long lasting, nonporous<br />
properties. It features “D” shaped rings so that pages lie<br />

Glass display vials are an excellent alternative for temporary or permanent<br />
storage of dry specimens or other materials. They are convenient to use in<br />
the field or lab because only one hand is needed to remove or replace<br />
stoppers, leaving the other hand free. Neck diameters and openings are<br />
larger than for equivalent shell, patent lip or screw cap vials, allowing them to<br />
accommodate larger specimens. Display vials are not compatible with<br />

use. Vials are made of standard Borosilicate glass tubing.<br />
Black screw caps with Polyseal lining are 24mm. The polyethylene liner projects into<br />
the mouth of the vial providing a double seal when screwed tightly. It virtually eliminates<br />
evaporation of alcohol, reducing time required for collection maintenance.<br />

STORAGE<br />
Glass Vials with Caps, Stoppers or Corks<br />
Glass vials are essential for the collection and storage of<br />
small specimens and those stored in alcohol. <strong>BioQuip</strong><br />
offers three types of vials in a variety of sizes to meet<br />
individual requirements and preferences.<br />
Vials are made of standard Borosilicate glass tubing, and<br />
are annealed in special retempering ovens to eliminate<br />
internal strains and assure full mechanical strength.<br />
Tapered corks of xxxx quality or green neoprene stoppers<br />
are included in prices of shell vials and patent lip<br />
vials listed below. Black phenolic caps, with either pulp<br />
and vinyl lining, or Polyseal (‘P’) lining, are included in<br />
prices of screw cap vials. Caps with ‘P’ designation following<br />
the catalog number feature an interior polyethylene<br />
liner which projects into the mouth of the vial and<br />
provides a double seal when screwed tightly. This liner<br />
virtually eliminates evaporation of alcohol in vials, thus<br />
reducing time required for collection maintenance.<br />
Metric dimensions are listed below. A combination inch/<br />
centimeter rule is supplied below right for reference in<br />
determining correct size(s) to order.<br />

STORAGE<br />
Green neoprene and natural latex<br />
rubber stoppers are recommended<br />
for collections of specimens<br />
in alcohol or other fluids<br />
stored in patent lip or shell vials.<br />
When these tapered stoppers are<br />
properly installed in patent lip vials,<br />
maintenance is unnecessary because fluid will not evaporate.<br />
Green neoprene stoppers have a durometer reading of 50;<br />
available in four sizes. Natural latex stoppers contain no pigment<br />
to discolor fluid or specimens. With a softer durometer<br />
(40) than neoprene, they are more easily seated and "burped"<br />
to relieve internal air pressure.<br />

keep records of droplet size determination and make them available<br />
to the EPA and the chemical manufacturer.<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>’s special Teflon-coated glass microscope slides are<br />
recommended for depositing spray samples to determine ULV<br />
droplet size. They are 3 x 1" (76 x 25 mm), available in boxes of<br />

Aerosol Droplet Sampler<br />
The aerosol droplet sampler is designed<br />
to collect insecticide aerosol<br />
droplets on Teflon-coated slides. It has<br />
applications in both public health and<br />
agriculture fields, and serves two valuable<br />
functions. It is used in accurate<br />
calibration of ULV equipment, allowing<br />
greater uniformity in determining droplet size and eliminating the<br />
need to hand-wave slides in the aerosol cloud. It also allows<br />
determination of extent of drift or penetration through vegetation<br />
of the aerosol cloud without need for caged insects.<br />
The slide rotator is a battery-operated device employing a U.S.manufactured<br />
gear motor that spins a dual aluminum slide holder.<br />
It can be mounted using the 1/2" aluminum tube on one side, or<br />
it can be placed on a level surface. With slide holder in place, the<br />
rotator is 7-3/4" high; weight is 1 lb., 2 oz. Two 9 V. alkaline<br />
batteries and instructions are supplied.<br />

Chemicals<br />
Specimen Clearing Fluid *<br />
Used to make internal structures visible under magnification by<br />
clearing out soft tissue, this fluid is principally a lacto-phenol solution<br />
with glacial acetic acid. Specimens may remain in the fluid<br />
for prolonged periods of time, or may be heated to speed the<br />
clearing process.<br />
6373A Specimen clearing fluid 100 ml. 24.60<br />
6373B Specimen clearing fluid pint 98.40<br />
Barber’s Relaxing & Cleaning Fluid *<br />
This solution is used as a relaxing agent when it is necessary to<br />
move appendages, remove genitalia, or otherwise treat a specimen<br />
after it has dried. Applied with a camel hair brush, it produces<br />
rapid relaxation so that legs or antennae may be aligned<br />
without breakage. The fluid is effective in rejuvenating old, greasy<br />
specimens, especially beetles, by submersion. It also dissolves<br />
many mounting adhesives.<br />
6374 Barber’s fluid 2 oz. 5.40<br />
6374A Barber’s fluid pint 21.60<br />
Cellosolve *<br />
Clearing and dehydrating agent containing ethylene-glycol<br />
monoethyl ether. Its primary use is as a non-volatile substitute for<br />
xylene when mounting in balsam.<br />
6378A Cellosolve pint 25.85<br />
6378B Cellosolve quart 49.15<br />
Lignin Pink Stain<br />
A stain frequently needed for preparing microscope slides. Similar<br />
to Acid Fuchsin, but proven to be more permanent, without<br />
fading of specimens. Shipped dry.<br />
6377A Lignin pink stain 5 grams 13.75<br />
Double Stain<br />
Double stain is a combination of Acid Fuchsin and Lignin Pink in<br />
solution. It is added to 6373 Specimen Clearing Fluid, which<br />
results in clearing and staining in one operation.<br />

PVA Mounting Medium<br />
PVA mounting medium containing Elvanol and lacto phenol is a<br />
one-step clearing and semi-permanent medium used in preparation<br />
of ringed microscope slides. It is recommended for small<br />
arthropods (soft or hard bodied), insect larvae, mosquito genitalia,<br />
mites and spiders. It is frequently used as a substitute for<br />
Hoyer’s solution. Without stain. Packed in amber dispensing<br />
bottle.<br />
6371A PVA mounting medium 20 ml. 14.15<br />
Slide Mounting Medium *<br />
An excellent, neutral pH medium for cementing cover glasses<br />
over zoological and botanical specimens on microslides. Consists<br />
of resin dissolved to a mounting consistency in reagent<br />
grade xylene. A plasticizer is added to keep resin from crazing.<br />
Melting point is about 90°C. Packed in amber dispensing bottle<br />
with dropping pipette.<br />
6370 Slide mounting medium 2 oz. 12.25<br />
Carnoy-Lebrun Fixative *<br />
A very rapid fixative, especially good for highly sclerotized beetles<br />
and grasshoppers. Also used as a substitute for KAAD in fixing<br />
larvae.<br />
6376A Carnoy-Lebrun fixative pint Discontinued<br />
Euparal Mounting Medium<br />
Euparal mounting medium is specifically intended for<br />
wholemounts of small-bodied insects such as mosquito larvae,<br />
aphids, or thrips taken directly from 95% alcohol. It is a permanent<br />
synthetic substitute for Canada Balsam, but imparts a slight<br />

compromising optical or mechanical quality.<br />
The Macroscope 25 is a fixed magnification unit providing 25x magnification over<br />
a wide field of view approximately 8mm (5/16"). Working distance is 2-3/4" (70mm);<br />
depth of focus is 1/2" (13mm). It is supplied with a reticle providing precise measurements<br />
both in .1 mm (100 micron) scale divisions to 5 mm, and 16th inch<br />
divisions to 3/16". By detaching the base and closeup lens, the Macroscope can<br />
also be used for 8x distance viewing.<br />
The Macroscope 45 has a 4.8 mm field of view and includes a measuring scale providing measurements<br />
in inches divided into 1/128" segments and in millimeters divided into 1/10-mm segments.<br />
Working distance is ~1-1/2" (38 mm) and the depth of focus is ~3/16" (6 mm). With the close-up lens<br />
and base removed, the unit can be used for 8X distance viewing.<br />
The Macroscope 18-36 zoom has a field of view that varies from 7/16" (11.1 mm) to 1/4" (6.4 mm),<br />
depending on magnification. It features a measuring scale that provides accurate measurements at<br />
either minimum or maximum magnification. It is calibrated in inches and divided into 1/64" or 1/128"<br />
segments and in 0.1- or 0.05-mm segments. Working distance is ~2" (50 mm) and the depth of focus<br />
is ~5/32" (4 mm). A carrying bag is provided.<br />
One of the Macroscope’s many applications is in the area of forensic entomology as it can be used in<br />
virtually any location. Another is in the field for on-site measurement of pesticide droplet size on 6335<br />
Teflon coated slides as samples are taken during spraying to help insure optimal droplet size.<br />
The units are camera adaptable by attaching optional Macromate adapter that couples the Macroscope<br />
to 52mm diameter filter threads of most 35mm SLR cameras. Lenses with other diameters are<br />
accommodated by by readily available stepping rings.<br />
Dimensions: height - 5.75" (146mm), with acrylic stage attached - 8.25" (210mm); acrylic stage - 3"<br />
(76mm) diameter. Weight: 6.5 oz. (184 grams); with carrying bag 7.5 oz. (213 grams).<br />

Fiberoptic Light Sources<br />
Fiberoptic illumination has become a widely used light source in recent<br />
years, offering the advantages of being versatile, adjustable, intense,<br />
and cool. Both of the dependable units described below are quiet, with<br />
low vibration. They may be used independently from any angle, or can<br />
be interfaced directly to microscopes or other equipment. Their professional,<br />
high-quality optics, coupled with their moderate cost, make them<br />
excellent values. Both are made in the USA, backed by manufacturer's<br />
one-year warranty.<br />
150 Watt Heavy-Duty Light Source<br />
Self-supporting light guides provide electronically isolated white light. Chromeplated<br />
gooseneck channel sheathing allows precise placement of light output.<br />
The cool, intense light permits close, detailed work and avoids cooking or drying<br />
out specimens under examination. A fan cools the unit, allowing the light source<br />
to be used for extended periods of time.<br />
A rheostat controls light intensity from 20 to 150 watts to provide the exact level<br />
of illumination needed. Focusing lenses at the tips of the light channels allow<br />
variable light spot adjustment, or may be removed for diffused illumination. Two<br />
models are available.<br />

Magnifiers by<br />
High-quality optics in Bausch & Lomb magnifiers have been renowned for over 110<br />
years. Lenses are made from pure optical glass, free of internal flaws, and lens surfaces<br />
are finished to precision optics standards without wave or other surface defects<br />
that could distort images.<br />
Coddington Magnifiers<br />
High-quality corrected magnifiers use a single thick lens of optical<br />
glass with a central groove diaphragm to provide sharp, crisp<br />
image. Magnifiers have swing-away, nickel-plated protective case.<br />

Featherweight forceps are widely used by entomologists in a<br />
variety of applications. Made of flexible stainless steel, they can<br />
be bent into almost any desired shape. They do not crush most<br />
larvae or eggs, and are convenient for retrieving arthropods stored<br />
in vials as well as general specimen handling or sorting. Small<br />
hole allows forceps to be hung on a cord to prevent loss.<br />

1023 Series Adjustable Spreading Boards<br />
Used to pin wings of Lepidoptera into a fixed position until set, these<br />
spreading boards are unique in offering two separate methods of pin<br />
adjustment. Pinning strip is solid balsa, and accepts mounting pins at<br />
any depth along the pin shaft. This pinning strip may be adjusted<br />
vertically to suit user preference, and may be tacked or glued permanently<br />
in the desired position.<br />
Both boards feature adjustable horizontal pinning grooves, from 0 to<br />
7/8" (0-22mm). Basswood mounting surfaces are angled at 165°.<br />
Balsa pinning strip is 3/8" (16mm) thick, and 1" (20mm) wide. Boards<br />
are 12" (305mm) long.<br />
The 1023E board is used to mount varied sizes of specimens. Pinning<br />
surfaces are 2" wide (each side); board width is 4-7/8" (124mm).<br />
The 1023F board is intended for mounting large Lepidoptera. Pinning<br />
surfaces are 3" wide (each side); board width is 6-7/8" (175mm).<br />

Spreading Board Kit<br />
Ideal for Lepidopterists or entomology classes. Kit provides<br />
components for 12 spreading boards as described for the 1023E<br />
board listed above. User can assemble boards at considerably<br />
lower cost than if purchased in completed form.<br />
Center groove in the boards may be set at whatever width is<br />
required; or with the purchase of optional hardware kit, groove<br />
may be made adjustable from 0 to 7/8". Boards are 12" long,<br />
and basswood pinning surfaces are 2" wide. Balsa pinning strip<br />
may be set at height preferred by the user.<br />
A hammer is the only tool required for assembling boards with<br />
fixed pinning surfaces. A 3/16" drill is needed to complete adjustable<br />
boards. Instructions are included in each kit.<br />

Double Mount Pinning Strips<br />
Used in preparing double mounts, these pinning strips<br />
enable small specimens to be curated and mounted in<br />
insect storage drawers or boxes. The specimen is pinned<br />
to one end of a piece of strip with a minuten. An insect pin<br />
is inserted through the other end of the strip and pinned<br />
into the bottom of a drawer or box.<br />
The white strips are made of inert silicon rubber, and are<br />
not affected by fumigants or other chemicals. They are a<br />
uniform size, approximately 3mm square. When cut to<br />
lengths of ±1/2" for use, they are rigid enough to support specimen<br />
and pin without sagging. They are non-porous and hold a<br />
.15mm minuten securely.<br />
Twenty double mount pinning strips are packed in a plastic bag<br />
containing 80" (203cm) of material. Strips are 4" (10cm) long;<br />
bag weighs approximately 1 oz.<br />

ink. This line of pens has fast become an accepted, valuable<br />
tool for the working biologist. Ink does not feather or bleed,<br />
and is smear-proof when dried. It is fade-proof against sunlight or<br />
UV light. Pens do not clog or dry out, unlike most technical pens,<br />
and are excellent for labels being duplicated by copy machines.<br />

Printed Label Paper<br />
With increasingly widespread use of<br />
Xerography and PC printers, it is possible<br />
to prepare, reduce and print<br />
small quantities of printed labels in a<br />
short time. The same high quality<br />
paper used for <strong>BioQuip</strong> printed labels<br />
to assure legibility and permanence<br />
is available in blank sheets.<br />
Label paper is 36-pound white linen<br />
ledger, 100% rag. It is archival quality,<br />
acid free with a 7.5 pH. The paper<br />
has a smooth, hard finish, and a labeling<br />
pen will not pluck the fibers. It<br />
is suitable for dry labeling only.<br />
Sheets are 8-1/2 x 11" (22 x 28cm).<br />

Label Paper With Resistall<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> recommends using label paper containing Resistall<br />
for data labels maintained in alcohol or formaldehyde. The<br />
Resistall feature enables paper kept in a wet environment to<br />
maintain its dimensional stability over a long period of time<br />
without disintegration or loss of data.<br />
Label paper with Resistall is not acid-free. It has a 5.31 pH.<br />
Other specifications are the same as for 1223PA/PB paper<br />

Cryolizer & Growth Chamber<br />
1430A<br />
The Cryolizer and growth chamber provide a portable, convenient,<br />
and less-expensive alternative to a chill table. Originally<br />
designed for study of fruit fly cultures, items work equally well<br />
for mosquitoes or other insects studied live under magnification<br />
while immobilized by cold temperatures.<br />
The system uses a pair of polypropylene Cryolizers, 3-1/2" (9<br />
cm) in diameter, with cold retention medium. Clear, styrene chambers<br />
are 3-1/4" (8.4cm) in diameter, 13/16" (2.1cm) high. They<br />
have close-fitting ventilated lids, and are sterilized to prevent<br />
contamination.<br />
To use the system: Place two Cryolizers in a freezer until they<br />
reach a temperature of about -18°C or 0°F. Then place a chamber<br />
containing specimens on the white surface of one chilled<br />
cryolizer for examination. By inverting the chamber, perforations<br />
will allow cold to enter the chamber more rapidly. After one<br />
hour, substitute the second Cryolizer from the freezer and return<br />
the first unit for re-cooling. For first use, leave Cryolizers in<br />
freezer overnight. Re-cooling takes one to two hours.<br />

Lab & Mosquito <strong>Equipment</strong><br />
This <strong>BioQuip</strong> designed and manufactured product facilitates the<br />
study, sorting, and counting of live insects while they remain<br />
immobilized by its low-temperature surface. It can be used in the<br />
field with 12V DC power, or in the lab with 120V AC current.<br />
The 1429 chill table contains a Peltier thermoelectric cooling device<br />
and heat exchanger, eliminating the need for access to<br />
water or having cooling lines fouled with tap water minerals. A<br />
convenient toggle switch defroster melts any accumulated frost<br />
in 1 - 2 minutes.<br />
The 4" square (10cm) chill surface is anodized, hard-faced aluminum,<br />
designed for 100mm Petri dishes. Surface temperature<br />
is monitored by a built-in digital, centigrade thermometer. Foam<br />
insulating cap minimizes frost buildup, speeds chilling, and protects<br />
chill surface.<br />
The chill table has a 12V DC connector compatible with standard<br />
automotive systems or battery power packs, and comes with a<br />
lightweight converter for use with 120V AC currents. Power consumption<br />
is ~4 amps per hour. The vented aluminum box is powder-coated,<br />
with a 4" (10cm) metal screen on the bottom to<br />
protect the fan intake area.<br />
A sturdy, folding auxiliary stand 10 x 15 x 4.5" (25.3 x 38 x<br />

Mosquito Traps<br />
Aquatic<br />
Heavy Duty EVS CO 2 Mosquito Trap<br />
The EVS (Encephalitis Vector Survey) trap, using carbon dioxide<br />
as the primary attractant, was introduced in 1979. It has<br />
been subject to evolutionary improvements in the intervening<br />
years, and the current model incorporates those changes.<br />
The top section is a one-gallon plastic, non-rusting, dry ice container.<br />
The wall and lid are insulated with high-density Plastazote<br />
foam to prevent overly rapid sublimation of dry ice during operation,<br />
and holes in the bottom allow gas to escape. A carrying<br />
handle is provided, along with metal chain to facilitate hanging<br />
from a tree branch or other object. When not in use, the container<br />
holds all trap components for convenient storage or transport.<br />
Also available is an insulated dry ice container; see description<br />
on page G of the catalog.<br />
The middle section contains the trap's mechanical and electrical<br />
components. Mosquitoes attracted to the CO 2 enter through an<br />
opening at the top of this section. They are drawn in and downward<br />
by airflow created by a plastic propeller attached to the<br />
trap’s DC motor. A “grain of wheat” lamp visible from the top<br />
opening of this section acts as a secondary attractant. Three Dcell<br />
batteries (sold separately) mounted on top of this section<br />
furnish power for the propeller and the lamp. “Off/on” switches<br />
are provided for operating the propeller and lamp. A plastic rain<br />
shield is provided to protect batteries and switches.<br />
This trap features an improved motor with a longer service life<br />
Gravid Mosquito Trap<br />
An effective device for trapping gravid mosquitoes was originally<br />
conceived by P. Reiter (Mosquito News, 43:496-498), with design<br />
improvements made by R. Cummings for <strong>BioQuip</strong> Products.<br />
The trap is designed to attract and capture gravid female mosquitoes<br />
of a target species in unharmed condition. The attractant is a<br />
baited water solution, either collected locally or formulated to simulate<br />
water found in the natural habitat. As gravid females approach<br />
the water to deposit eggs, they are pulled upward into a collecting<br />
container housed in the upper compartment. This container is removable<br />
for inspection or processing of specimens.<br />
The trap consists of two basic parts. The upper part contains the<br />
exhaust duct with motor and fan, batteries, the collecting duct, and<br />
the specimen container. The lower part serves as the attractant<br />
container as well as support for the upper part.<br />
Gee Minnow Trap<br />
Standard minnow trap is used to collect and transfer Gambusia<br />
and other small fish. Made of 1/4" mesh galvanized wire and<br />
steel, halves of the trap unclamp and nest together for carrying.<br />
Size: 17-1/2" long, 9" diameter.<br />

and lower power requirement than previous models. Extended<br />
motor and battery life allow greater flexibility in scheduling personnel<br />
hours, and provide additional economy of operation. In<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> testing, three batteries provided up to 464 hours of<br />
service (58 nights at 8 hours per night) before replacements<br />
were required.<br />
The bottom section consists of a catch bag made of netting, and<br />
a plastic spreader to keep the bag open during use. It has an<br />

The upper chamber is a heavy duty rain-tight plastic case with<br />
carry handle, latch and hinges. It is 16-1/2 x 8-1/4 x 6-1/2" high (42<br />
x 21 x 16.5 cm). A permanently mounted horizontal exhaust duct<br />
supplies negative air pressure inside the case. The duct contains a<br />
6-volt motor and fan, activated automatically by an electrical<br />
photoswitch at dusk. Manual turnoff is required at dawn to prevent<br />
loss of trapped mosquitoes. Power is supplied by four ‘D’ cell batteries<br />
(available separately), or by a 6-volt lantern battery.<br />
The upper chamber also houses a reversible vertical duct which<br />
functions as the mosquito pickup after being extended to about one<br />
inch above the water surface. A collecting chamber with screened<br />
top and stockinette closure rests on the upper end of the vertical<br />
intake duct. A binder clip acts as closure. By purchasing additional<br />
chambers, specimens collected the prior night can be taken to the<br />
lab and held for processing without the need for transfering to another<br />
container.<br />
The lower part of the trap, a heavy duty black plastic tray, 20-1/2 x<br />
15 x 5" high (20 x 38 x 12.7 cm), serves as container for the<br />

CDC Light Traps<br />
Originally developed by U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the<br />
reliable, portable trap described below incorporates nearly 30<br />
years of design and manufacturing improvements. It is in use<br />
worldwide for arbovirus surveys and taxonomic studies, and is<br />
the standard, battery-operated tool for mosquito and sand fly<br />
control sampling. This trap provides an efficient and productive<br />
means of collecting mosquitoes, both in numbers of individuals<br />
and in diversity of species captured.<br />

2836BQ trap<br />
CDC Mini Light Trap with Incandescent Light<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> has developed and now manufactures a superior version<br />
of the CDC miniature light trap.<br />
The heavy duty ABS black trap cover is 13" (33 cm) in diameter.<br />
A 3-foot polypropylene cord is provided for hanging. The trap<br />
body is fabricated from 3-1/2" (9 cm) acrylic tubing, and features<br />
stainless steel supports and screen. It has a 4-watt CM-<br />
47 incandescent light bulb with an average life of 2,000 hours.<br />
An 8-foot (2.4 m) power cord with standard spade tip connectors<br />
is supplied. The motor and light draw 320 mAmps. The unit<br />
requires a 6V DC power supply or battery (#2860 available<br />
separately, see below).<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>'s unique design features include a self-closing, clear<br />
film air gate. The air gate prevents escape of collected specimens<br />
in the event of power loss. It also allows for use of a timing<br />
device in collecting samples without being on site to start or stop<br />
trap operation. There is a minimal increase on motor current<br />
draw with this design. The air gate is an extra charge option<br />
from other CDC trap manufacturers.<br />
The No-See-Um fine mesh collecting bag with ripstop nylon<br />
skirt is supported by a large rubber O-ring, fitted into a groove at<br />
the bottom of the acrylic tube. A draw string allows specimens to<br />
be contained in the bag safely. (<strong>BioQuip</strong> #2809C or #2809D<br />
aspirators can be inserted into the bag to remove specimens.<br />
The bag can then be reattached to the trap.) The collection cup<br />
is a 16-ounce polypropylene jar with 32-mesh screen vented<br />
bottom and modified lid. An extra plain lid is provided to seal the<br />
jar. The trap weighs only 1.5 lbs (.6 kg).<br />

Miniature Light Trap with UV Light<br />
Ultraviolet light is known to attract a greater number and diversity<br />
of Culicoides and Phlebotamine mosquito species than incandescent<br />
light. The trap described above is also offered with<br />
a 4-watt blacklight lamp as the light attractant, in the range of<br />
320 - 420 n.m. Tube is 5/8" diameter x 6" long; lamp life averages<br />
4,000 hours. The trap requires a 6-volt DC battery and<br />
consumes about 500mAmps per hour.<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>'s mini light traps are supplied with air gates that keep<br />
specimens inside the trap in the event of power loss or if the trap<br />
is deliberately shut off to conserve power consumption. An inline<br />
photo switch permits traps to be set to turn on in the evening<br />
and shut off at dawn. By changing the position of the photo<br />
switch, it is possible to adjust the time traps turn on and off.<br />

Mosquito Traps<br />
Collection Bottle<br />
Rotator<br />
2850 shown with 2836 trap<br />
Since insect species fly at<br />
different times of night, influenced<br />
by time of year,<br />
temperature, and other<br />
factors, there is a need for<br />
a method of separating<br />
specimens to identify patterns<br />
of flight and behavior.<br />
This device allows segregating<br />
the catch of mechanical<br />
or pheromone<br />
traps or a collecting device<br />
of your own design into<br />
eight bottles over periods<br />
of time determined by a<br />
programmable timer.<br />
The design permits complete flexibility in the collection schedule,<br />
which may range in length from a few hours (or even minutes)<br />
to weeks. Timer accuracy is four minutes per year. An<br />
internal backup battery maintains current date/time and switching<br />
program for several days without external power.<br />
The collection bottle rotator requires a 12-volt DC battery and<br />
supplies timer-switched 12-volt DC power to the trap. Its inlet<br />
accommodates traps with outside diameters of up to 4" (10<br />
cm). The bottle-holding platen is precision machined from a<br />
.25" (.64 cm) aluminum plate.<br />
A 2836BQ or 2848BQ trap (see left) or other downdraft collecting<br />
device is placed on the rotator with the collecting bag<br />
placed on the platen's inlet. A timer circuit energizes a<br />
gearmotor, which in turn rotates a new bottle under the trap at<br />
pre-programmed intervals.<br />
A 12-volt DC battery is required (not included); the rotator<br />
requires only a few milliamps to operate. A pair of wires connects<br />
the unit to a battery. The trap's wires connect to the<br />
rotator's terminal block.<br />
For those using a 2836BQ trap which requires a 6-volt battery,<br />
an in-line voltage converter that transforms 12-volt DC to 6-volt<br />
DC is required. The converter is 18" (46 cm) long, and has<br />
terminals for connecting to a CDC trap and to the bottle rotator<br />
connection posts. Wires are color coded for easy connection.<br />
The rotator is 14" (35.6 cm) in diameter, and weighs 5 lbs. (2.3<br />
kg). Installation and operation instructions are included.<br />

Lightsticks<br />
No biologist should be out in the<br />
field at night without Lightsticks<br />
for general or emergency lighting.<br />
Weighing only one ounce,<br />
Light-sticks are a safe, convenient<br />
source of 360 N cold light<br />
and provide better area light<br />
than a flashlight. No outside<br />
combustion or heat is required<br />
to activate. Completely waterproof,<br />
they may be used underwater<br />
and in rainy conditions.<br />
The AmeriGlo Lightstick consists<br />
of an outer and inner capsule,<br />
each containing a chemical<br />
solution. By flexing the plastic wand, an ampule containing<br />
one solution is broken, and the two solutions are mixed, producing<br />
light emission. Lightsticks are 6" long x 3/4" dia. (15.2 x<br />
1.9 cm), available in five colors: green, yellow, red, blue, and<br />
white. They emit light for approximately 12 hours after activation,<br />
except for blue and white which last 8 hours. Shelf life is<br />
up to four years if the outer, foil wrapper has not been damaged.<br />
The effectiveness of Lightsticks in attracting aquatic insects is<br />
still being debated. Several vector control agencies have tested<br />
them for their ability to attract underwater organisms, including<br />
mosquito larvae. They are the recommended light source for<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>'s Aquatic Light Trap (see right).<br />

Stream Flowtanks<br />
Flowtanks are unique devices<br />
providing a miniature stream environment.<br />
Originally designed<br />
for rearing aquatic larvae, they have<br />
a variety of other uses including:<br />
$ Creating stream microcosm for testing ecological theory or<br />
making behavioral observations<br />
$ Demonstration or display tanks for classroom or museum<br />
$ Student science projects<br />
Easily installed, Flowtanks convert a standard aquarium into a<br />
stream tank without complicated, noisy water pumps or paddle<br />
wheels because power is provided by the air supply. They are<br />
constructed of Plexiglass and vinyl plastic and are secured in<br />
place with gravel.<br />
An air pump, not provided, powers the Flowtank lifting water<br />
vertically and accelerating it horizontally. Larger air pumps create<br />
faster currents. Large vibrator pumps (Whisper 700) create<br />
currents of 4 in/sec., (30.5 cm/sec.). Units are designed for<br />
channels 5" wide, with counterclockwise flow. They are easily<br />
maintained because there are no moving parts or screens to<br />
clog. Instructions for assembly and installation are included.<br />

Aquatic<br />
Light Trap<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>’s Aquatic Light Trap was<br />
designed to improve collecting of<br />
mosquito larvae. It facilitates<br />
advance determinations of<br />
emergence time and species. It also<br />
attracts a variety of other organisms<br />
such as Dytiscidae water beetles,<br />
and is not limited to aquatic<br />
environments.<br />
The trap is submerged on the<br />
bottom of a canal, pond, or flooded<br />
rice field. Using an AmeriGlo<br />
Lightstick (see left) hooked inside<br />
the trap, mosquito larvae are attracted to the light, entering<br />
through openings on four sides. Studies indicate an improved<br />
cost effective factor when compared to hand dipping for larvae,<br />
especially in vegetation choked waterways.<br />
Because the trap approaches the specific gravity of fresh<br />
water, about 8 oz. of ballast (such as stones) is required to<br />
keep it resting securely on a canal or pond bottom. The trap<br />
also can be used in a floating position to attract surface dwelling<br />
aquatic insects and other organisms by reducing the ballast<br />
and forming an airlock under the lid.<br />
Trap body is heavy duty, molded ABS plastic, 8-1/4" (21 cm) high<br />
and 10-1/4" (26 cm) across, with interior painted white to increase<br />
attracting capability. Removable, clear plastic funnels are<br />
attached to the four 4" side ports with polyethylene rings. Trap<br />
lid is secured with a crossover bungee cord. Weight is 2 lbs., 6 oz.<br />

The two-meter emergence trap is a <strong>BioQuip</strong> exclusive. Carefully<br />
fabricated of Lumite screening, it is hung above a stream or<br />
other body of water to capture a wide variety of imago insects<br />
as they emerge from the water to take flight.<br />
The large trap is two meters square and 2.4 meters high. Front<br />
and back are cut .4 meter shorter than sides to allow water to<br />
flow through without obstruction. A 1.2-meter opening with Velcro<br />
closure is provided on the front (upstream) side allowing the<br />
user to enter the trap and refasten the opening from inside.<br />
Sufficient headroom allows the user to collect newly emerged<br />
insects with a small net or other device such as <strong>BioQuip</strong>'s 2820B<br />
Insect Vac (see page 57).<br />
The peak is supported by a 2" steel ring, and heavy fabric loops<br />
are provided at each corner to keep the trap spread open in the<br />

Sampler<br />
The Surber<br />
Design Bottom<br />
Sampler<br />
collects<br />
aquatic insects<br />
and<br />
other macroorganisms<br />
found on the<br />
bottom of moving streams at depths from 12 - 18" (30 - 45 cm).<br />
It is used to determine larval insect population levels which are<br />
indicators of pollution in streams and watersheds. It is also used<br />
to monitor availability of food for fish, and to chart variation in<br />
aquatic life from different locations in the same stream.<br />
The durable netting filter is made of amber Lumite screening,<br />
available in two mesh sizes:<br />
$ 20 x 20 mesh Lumite screen, size of openings 965 microns<br />
(approximately 1 mm)<br />
$ 52 x 52 mesh Lumite screen, size of openings 280 microns<br />
Closely woven white polyester is used for the top and side<br />
panels. Both fabrics are resistant to ultra violet light. Overall<br />
length of the sampling bag is 27" (68 cm).<br />
The rugged 12" (30 cm) square frame is constructed of 1/8 x<br />
1/2" solid hard brass. It is placed on a stream bottom so that<br />
water flows into the 12" square vertical portion of the frame and<br />
through the collecting bag, trapping organisms dislodged from<br />
the substrate. The upright portion of the frame unlocks for flat<br />
storage and portability. The sampler folds to approximately 12.5<br />
x 12.5 x 2", and weighs 4 lbs.<br />
To prevent the sampler from sinking into a soft or uneven stream<br />
bottom with resulting loss of definition to the 12-square inch<br />
area, two metal bottom extension frames are available. Extension<br />
frames to support the sampler are 3" and 6" in depth,<br />
fabricated of 22 gauge steel with heavy cadmium plating. The<br />
more appropriate extension is selected to support the sampler<br />
depending on composition of the substrate.<br />

Water Sampler<br />
FRESHWATER ENVIRONMENTS<br />
Sturdy, clear acrylic<br />
chamber collects representative<br />
water<br />
samples, including dissolved<br />
oxygen water<br />
samples, at depths<br />
from one to 20 meters.<br />
Water is collected in a removable inner glass tube which is<br />
overflowed up to 10 times to insure an accurate, representative<br />
sample. Two extra test tube inner chambers, 6-3/4" long, with<br />
cork stoppers are supplied.<br />
The water sampler outfit includes a cork stopper and rod for<br />
simple removal of inner glass tubes, a clip for thermometer<br />
attachment when temperature readings are to be obtained, and<br />
a two pound lead weight which is attached to the bottom of the<br />
sampler for rapid descent and minimal amount of drift due to<br />
currents. A short harness and swiveled hook for attaching line<br />
at the top is also provided.<br />
Overall dimensions are 9 x 3-1/4" (23 x 8 cm); shipping weight is<br />
4 lbs. Procedures for collecting water samples are supplied.<br />

Sampling<br />
Dredge<br />
Stainless steel dredge is used to collect benthic organisms or<br />
sediment on soft bottoms (sand or silt). A simple trigger holds<br />
the sampler open while lowering to cover a uniform area of<br />
approximately 7-1/2 x 5-1/2" (19 x 14 cm). Scissor design closes<br />
the sampler, retrieving a volume of sediment to the surface for<br />
analysis. When closed, the sample remains undisturbed as it is<br />
raised to the surface. Careful release into a pan distributes<br />
sediment approximately as it was on the bottom.<br />
A sturdy harness line is provided with the dredge, which weighs<br />
6 lbs.<br />

Plankton Net<br />
Cone-shaped net is made of 10 mesh, 153 micron<br />
nylon cloth, which permits water to pass<br />
through but is fine enough to filter out organisms.<br />
Minute plankton are collected and can be observed<br />
in the removable, clear conical tube (50<br />
ml.) at the end of the net. Two 50 ml. graduated<br />
tubes are provided. A sturdy stainless steel ring<br />

In response to requests for an aquatic net that can be packed,<br />
carried or shipped conveniently while maintaining heavy-duty performance<br />
characteristics, "D"-shape nets now have the optional<br />
feature of a two-piece handle.<br />
Nets are 70" (178 cm) overall, with smooth, lacquered hardwood<br />
handles 1-1/8 x 60" (3 x 152cm). When dismantled, overall length is<br />
38" (96.5 cm).<br />
A heavy copper tube at the center of the handle is fitted with internal<br />
brass and steel fasteners. The two handle sections are screwed<br />
together inside the rugged copper tubing. The net ring is permanently<br />
fastened with epoxy adhesive to a non-rusting heavy copper<br />
ferrule. The ring and bags are as described in the box above right.<br />
These nets weigh 3.5 pounds. They can be shipped through the<br />
postal system or other carriers to destinations outside the U.S.<br />
An effective method for collecting larval<br />
insects and other macroinverte-brates<br />
found in freshwater environments. The<br />
Dendy design larval plate bottom sampler<br />
is submerged in a stream, river or<br />
lake bottom. Organisms moving through<br />
the water reach the surface of plates<br />
where they tend to cling and develop. Optimum<br />
period for leaving the sampler in<br />
place is two weeks.<br />
The multiple plate sampler consists of<br />
nine 3" square pieces of 1/8" tempered<br />
hardboard, separated by plastic spacers to keep plates in position.<br />
Plates are connected through the center by a stainless<br />
steel eyebolt. The sampler is easily dismantled by removing the<br />
wing nut at the end of the bolt. By exposing both sides of the<br />
small plates, about one square foot of surface is made available.<br />
This simple yet highly efficient sampler is inexpensive and compact,<br />
recommended when sampling from many locations in a<br />
stream or lake is desirable.<br />

Heavy Duty Aquatic Nets<br />
Aquatic<br />
Heavy duty, long lasting nets in this series are designed for use by<br />
benthologists and entomologists needing a strong net for fresh<br />
water collecting, scraping stream bottoms, collecting bottom dwelling<br />
organisms, or sweeping in thick vegetation.<br />
Smooth, lacquered, hardwood, handles are 5 feet long, 1-1/8" diameter,<br />
permanently attached with epoxy adhesive to a 5/16" cadmium<br />
plated steel net ring. Nets are 70" (178cm) overall. Net bags<br />
are made of heavy cotton and polyester canvas, stitched with nonrotting<br />
thread. They feature a white, 500-micron Nytex 7 screen<br />
bottom 8" below the net rim. They also include a 4" skirt to protect<br />
the mesh from snags and wear, have internal Nylon piping, and are<br />
secured to the net ring by heavily plated hog rings. For collecting<br />
very small aquatic insects or other organisms, a bag with 7291B<br />
Nytex 7 Nylon screen, 150 microns, see page 49, is available for<br />
use with the 7412D net.<br />
Diameter for the 7410R round net bag, and length of the side of the<br />
7410T triangular net bag is 10" (25cm). Flat side of the 7412D net<br />
bag measures 12" (30.5cm). Opening of the ‘D’ shaped net permits<br />
simple insertion of collecting pan or other container. Replacement<br />
net bags with plated hog ring fasteners are available.<br />
Nets weigh 3 lbs. Due to their length, they must be shipped by<br />
U.P.S., FedEx, or Parcel Post (cannot ship via Postal Service to<br />
destinations outside the U.S.); oversize cubic inch dimensional<br />
weight surcharge applies to these aquatic nets.<br />

Modeled on the traditional kick net, this small<br />
yet effective seine is simple and quick to<br />
assemble. It is used by dislodging substrate<br />
upcurrent from the net, by walking forward<br />
in still water to trap aquatic insects and crustaceans,<br />
or held stationary in heavy water<br />
allowing specimens to drift into the net.<br />
The netting portion is 24" wide x 20" high,<br />
made of 14 x 18 mesh black polyester, reinforced<br />
at the sides and bottom with Dacron<br />
tape. Grommets supply stability at the bottom;<br />
Velcro tabs attach at the top.<br />
Collapsible side shafts have four swaged<br />
sections of 3/8" anodized, hard aluminum,<br />
connected with bungee cord. They are surprisingly<br />
rigid when assembled, and can be<br />
used in fast moving water. Extended length<br />
of shafts is 31".<br />
When disassembled, the seine is 9-1/2" long. It weighs only six<br />
oz., a very convenient item to keep in a jacket pocket or vehicle<br />
glove compartment. Instructions for easy set-up and suggested<br />
seining techniques are included.<br />

Screen Barrier Net<br />
Aquatic barrier screen, or ‘kick’ net,<br />
is useful for collecting hellgrammites,<br />
stonefly nymphs, crane fly<br />
larvae, and other insects which<br />
cling to stones in swiftly running<br />
water. When stones are kicked or<br />
disturbed, dislodged insects are<br />
trapped downstream in the screen.<br />
The net consists of two 48" hardwood<br />
maple dowels, spiked at the bottom, and<br />
a 20 x 20 mesh amber Lumite screen,<br />
36" square. Mesh openings are approximately 1 mm. Screen is<br />
reinforced by a banding of Dacron sail tape, with sides forming<br />
a tube which slides over the dowels.<br />

The Gambusia net is<br />
a <strong>BioQuip</strong> product designed<br />
at the request<br />
of entomologists involved<br />
in mosquito<br />
control. It is intended<br />
specifically for the<br />
capture of Gambusia<br />
affinis (mosquito fish)<br />
for transfer to other<br />
ponds or areas where<br />
mosquito control is<br />
needed. However, the<br />
net has a wider application<br />
as a general collecting device for those concerned with<br />
fresh water biology.<br />
The bag is 12" in diameter, and is made of 1/8" knotted nylon ace<br />
mesh, banded with Dacron sail tape. Replacement bags are<br />
available. The hoop is flat spring steel which screws onto a fivefoot<br />
aluminum handle composed of two segments (see Professional<br />
Nets on page 45 for more complete description).<br />
The top handle section only may be used in transferring fish<br />
from breeding or holding tanks while use of both sections is<br />
convenient for scooping fish from canals and ponds.<br />

Tropics Net<br />
The Tropics Net is an original <strong>BioQuip</strong> design meeting space<br />
limitations of air travelers. It consists of six 2-foot aluminum<br />
segments that screw together to form a lightweight handle up to<br />
12 feet in length. Net ring is spring steel with 18" diameter, and<br />
net bag is white aerial. Net bag options include bags in dark<br />
green or extra soft white or sand netting.<br />
When disassembled, the net is about 25" x 3", and fits compactly<br />
in a suitcase. It is intended for use in a vertical position to<br />
trap high flying insects. Use in a horizontal position at the 12-foot<br />
length is not recommended.<br />
This net offers the user great collecting versatility. The handle’s<br />
length can be varied by omitting or adding segments. When<br />
smaller ring sizes are desired, 7351A or 7352 rings may be<br />
used along with any 12" or 15" diameter net bag. Collectors not<br />
requiring a 12-foot handle may order components needed to<br />
make up a shorter net.<br />

Danaus plexippus<br />
Monarch Net<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>’s Monarch Net provides a compact, convenient<br />
and safe means for capturing insects generally<br />
inaccessible by conventional collecting methods. This<br />
unusual, sturdy telescoping collecting net is a giant step<br />
up in vertical reach from the popular 7324 Tropics Net.<br />
The handle is 76" long when fully collapsed, but can be<br />
extended from 7 feet to over 18-1/2 feet. The net bag<br />
and angle adapter on the handle provide another 2 feet.<br />
With the additional height of the user, a total reach of 24<br />
- 26 feet is possible. The net may be used in a vertical or<br />
horizontal position, and the angle adapter may be tipped<br />
to 135° in 22° increments.<br />
The largest of the three tempered aluminum telescoping<br />
tubes comprising the handle is 1-1/4" diameter, ribbed for<br />
structural strength. Two extension tubes are secured into<br />
desired position by twist lock devices requiring no tools.<br />
The adjustable angle adapter is fabricated of rugged<br />
plastic, and any of 13 angles is set by interlocking<br />
notches, easily tightened with a wing-nut. The spring<br />
steel net ring is 18" diameter, and aerial bag is white.<br />
The complete net weighs 4 lbs.<br />
FIELD<br />
CAUTION: Do not use the Monarch Net in the vicinity of<br />
overhead electrical wires.<br />
A rugged PVC shipping tube has been designed to hold<br />
the Monarch Net. It is 2-1/2" diameter x 90" long with a<br />
threaded end cap for access at one end. The unit may be<br />
checked as airline baggage, and is an ideal collecting<br />
tool taken anywhere worldwide. It can be shipped by<br />
U.P.S. or FedEx ‘Oversize’ (70 lb.) rate and $6.50 excessive<br />
length surcharge. Weight with PVC case is 9-3/4 lbs.<br />

Pocket Net<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong>’s unique net<br />
fits into a coat pocket or<br />
briefcase and is ideal for inconspicuous<br />
use. Spring steel net ring<br />
folds to a 4" (10.2cm) diameter, and flicks out quickly to a 12"<br />
(30.5cm) diameter polyester aerial net.<br />
This collapsible net is refolded simply by twisting the top of the<br />
net ring and the handle each 180° in opposite directions so that<br />
sections of the ring fold into each other. It may be locked in<br />
closed position by slipping one of the three loops of the net ring<br />
over the "T" knob with the thumb. The 5-inch (12.7cm) anodized<br />
aluminum handle may be extended by adding 7312 aluminum<br />
extensions described below, or by inserting a 5/8" (1.6cm) wood<br />
dowel of desired length.<br />

Collapsible Nets<br />
Versatile folding nets are larger versions of the famous<br />
pocket net which <strong>BioQuip</strong> introduced in 1956. Collapsible<br />
field nets in 15" or 18" diameter fold down to about<br />
1/3 size of the ring diameter. They are stowed conveniently<br />
in collecting bags, daypacks, luggage or (large) pockets.<br />
Nets have an anodized aluminum handle, 5 inch (12.7cm)<br />
long x 3/4" diameter, and spring steel net ring. Aerial<br />
bags in white or dark green are standard. The 7215WA,<br />
7215SA, 7218WA and 7218SA extra soft aerial bags<br />
(see page 48) are also suitable extra bags for these nets.<br />
Folding nets are collapsed in the same manner as the<br />
7112CP pocket net shown on this page. The larger model<br />
requires somewhat stronger hands and wrists for refolding.<br />
Handle can be extended to any desired length with<br />
12" and/or 24" extension segments described below.<br />

Lightweight handle extensions short enough to be packed in<br />
airline luggage were first described in <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s 1982-83 catalog.<br />
They are sections of anodized aluminum tubing, 3/4" diameter,<br />
which have been swaged (shrunk) at one end. Extensions<br />
are inserted into the end of any <strong>BioQuip</strong> collapsible or pocket net<br />
handle until desired handle length is reached.<br />
Extension segments are available in 12" or 24" lengths. They<br />
have spring loaded buttons which snap into the bottom of the net<br />
handle or preceding segment to secure sections firmly in place<br />
during use. A 4-1/2" red vinyl handle grip placed on the bottom<br />
extension helps spot the net in the field, protects hands, and<br />
keeps dirt and rocks out of the handle.<br />
Extensions can be used with the following nets: 7112CP, 7115CP,<br />

Coleopterist's Net Bag<br />
A welcome addition to <strong>BioQuip</strong>'s<br />
extensive line of net bags, the<br />
coleopterist's bag has been<br />
designed to prevent beetles and<br />
other insects from crawling out<br />
after they have been collected.<br />
The bag has an interior lining that<br />
stops the progress of the beetles<br />
as they crawl upwards. It is<br />
especially useful when making<br />
multiple catches with a longhandled<br />
net.<br />
Inside the 18" (46 cm) diameter<br />
aerial net bag is a tapered lining of<br />
the same netting, which extends<br />
halfway down the length of the<br />
bag. Insects collected in the lower<br />
end of the bag crawl upward between the bag and the lining and<br />
cannot escape.<br />
The coleopterist's net bag is available with white or green netting,<br />
with a rugged sailcloth band around the top. Length is 38" (97 cm).<br />
It must be ordered separately as an accessory for any <strong>BioQuip</strong><br />
insect net with an 18" diameter net ring.<br />

Antivirus/No-Thrips Insect Screens<br />
White antivirus insect screens prevent small insects and virus<br />
vectors from entering greenhouses. They are designed to<br />
maximize performance for two major objectives:<br />
1. Maximum air circulation to enable optimal yields.<br />
2. 100% blockage of Bemisia tabaci Whitefly, minimizing or<br />
eliminating use of chemicals.<br />
Years of lab and field testing have resulted in a unique screen<br />
construction to meet these objectives.<br />
Screens are made of high tensile-strength monofilaments. They<br />
are UV resistant and stabilized, lightweight, and easy to install.<br />
Special equipment maintains accuracy of hole size in a patented<br />
construction process, and screen keeps its strength<br />
and stability even if mechanically punctured. Screens are<br />
easily cleaned with power sprayers by interior side flushing.<br />
Two types of screens are available. Antivirus insect screens<br />
exclude Whitefly, Aphids, Leafminers and up to 80% of Western<br />
Flower Thrips. No-thrips insect screens exclude Thrips, and<br />
are designed for applications where exclusion has a priority<br />
over ventilation. Please allow three weeks for delivery.<br />

Gaining acceptance by collectors as a dispatching agent, ammonium<br />
carbonate is a dry, practical and safer alternative to<br />
liquid killing agents. The powder is not poisonous or flammable,<br />
but can be irritating to the lungs and corrosive to muscous<br />
membranes.<br />
Ammonia gas is liberated when a small amount of powder is<br />
exposed to oxygen. The release of fumes is enhanced by wetting<br />
the powder with water. The powder can also be used in other<br />
collecting traps as a killing agent.<br />
Ammonium carbonate is light sensitive and must be stored in an<br />
airtight container. Packed in a polypropylene jar, there are no<br />
shipping restrictions for this product.<br />

Using a cartridge to contain the killing agent was an original<br />

Butterfly Bait Traps<br />
Mercury Vapor Lights<br />
NOTE: Glass in mercury vapor lamp bulbs becomes hot during<br />
use. Hot lamp bulbs cannot tolerate temperature shock from<br />
rain or mist, and break when they come in contact with moisture.<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> highly recommends using rain shields with 2818, 2816<br />
and 2819 mercury vapor lights. No warranty is made for mercury<br />
vapor lights if customer has not also purchased a 2818B<br />
or 2819B rain shield and used it during operation of the light.<br />
There is no warranty for mercury vapor lamp bulbs.<br />

Baited traps are used in tropical environments to collect, study or photograph<br />
specific kinds of butterflies. The design takes advantage of a<br />
butterfly’s natural tendency to fly upward after feeding or when startled.<br />
Specimens are removed from a gray fiberglass screen cylinder with 22"<br />
zippered side opening. The cylinder has non-rusting 15" rings at top and<br />
bottom, sturdy cloth top, and nylon rope hanger. The 16" square plywood<br />
base supports bait container and provides a landing platform for incoming<br />
butterflies. It is attached to the cylinder with ‘S’ hooks, leaving an entry<br />
opening over 1".<br />
Two models of these fully collapsible bait traps are available. Both extend<br />
to 36" high, and are 15" in diameter. The 1420C cone trap features a 12"<br />
inverted cone with 4" opening, and three rope tethers with Velcro tabs to<br />
hold cone in position. The 1420L lip trap has a 3.5" screen lip at the<br />
bottom attached to an inner metal ring providing an 8" opening.<br />
Often referred to as Agrias traps due to their success in capturing that<br />
genus, these bait traps are also used to collect other types of butterflies.<br />
They are compact (16" square x 2.25" high when collapsed) and lightweight<br />
(2.25 lbs.), easily packed in a suitcase or shoulder pack for travel.<br />

solely to black light. It includes<br />
an unfrosted 175<br />
watt lamp from the blue<br />
end of the MV spectrum,<br />
screwed into a porcelain<br />
mogul socket, separated<br />
from the vented aluminum<br />
ballast box by 10 feet of<br />

Mercury Vapor Lamp, 160 Watt<br />
This mercury vapor lamp is especially wellsuited<br />
for insect collecting when compared<br />
to other MV lights requiring bulky and more<br />
expensive apparatus for ballasting or current<br />
conversion. Long favored in Europe for night collecting,<br />
mercury vapor lights are increasingly preferred by North American<br />
collectors who wish to attract a more varied selection of<br />
insects than those attracted by the black light band of the color<br />
spectrum.<br />
The clear, 160-watt, 120-volt AC 2819 MV lamp is self-ballasted.<br />
With electronic components within the glass, the user can twist<br />
the lamp into any conventional medium base electrical socket.<br />

DC BLB Night Collecting Light<br />
BLB collecting lights detect phosphorescence in arthropods<br />
such as scorpions, and other organisms. By moving the light<br />
across the ground at night, many species are spotted easily.<br />
This light uses a short wave, BLB (black light black), dark<br />
ultraviolet, 15-watt fluorescent tube. The tube is enclosed in a<br />
plastic tube with a screen along one side to provide shielding<br />
from the eyes. Since this type of light can cause temporary<br />
“burn” to the retina, and sometimes to unprotected skin, it must<br />
be used with caution, and the eyes should be averted from<br />
direct view of the light, with the exposed side of the light directed<br />
away from the eyes.<br />
Designed for DC use only, the light has a remote ballast, 6-foot<br />
power cord, and 12-volt connector for hookup to battery or<br />
other external power source. It is 18" long, and weighs 15 oz.<br />

12 Volt DC Timer<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> 7<br />
Designed to extend versatility for night light collecting, the <strong>BioQuip</strong> DC timer was inspired by a 1964<br />
article by D. K. Edwards, Canada Department of Forestry. The concept has been expanded to provide<br />
multiple signals for operating a 12-volt DC light or trap to attract night flying insects.<br />
The simple, yet highly practical design lends itself to wide variation in trap operation. The timer can be<br />
used with any <strong>BioQuip</strong> 12-volt DC light. It turns a light ‘on’ and ‘off’ for one or more predetermined periods<br />
from 12 minutes up to 24 hours. Setting the timer is easily accomplished by cutting “windows” in a clock<br />
face/program card. Mylar program cards are held securely in place where needed by four button<br />
magnets.<br />
This timer is limited only by the user’s requirements or power supply capability, since collecting lights<br />
can be operated while the user is absent. The 24-hour military clock dial prevents the timer from being<br />
set for daylight hours unless specifically intended.<br />
The timer motor features a quartz clock motor. The housing is a secure aluminum box 4 x 4 x 2" with<br />
clear acrylic window and 12-volt DC connectors on 18" leads. The top and bottom are secured with<br />
knurled screw fasteners. An AA battery, six program cards, and instructions are included.<br />

Universal Programmable Timing Switch This versatile electronic programming device facilitates scheduling a wide variety of<br />
applications for the operation of electrical equipment. A series of up to 42 independent<br />
commands may be programmed for day of the week, hour and minute. The switch can<br />
handle loads of up to 16 amps and is wired for 12-volt DC operation.<br />
The clock is a solid-state quartz-based timer accurate to four minutes per year. An<br />
internal backup ni-cad battery maintains the current date/time and switching program<br />
for several days without external power. Minimum on or off time is one minute; maximum<br />
is one week. Up to 42 pairs of on/off events can be programmed and it is possible<br />
to have the same program of up to eight on/off events scheduled for each day of the<br />
week.<br />
The switch is contained in an unbreakable, water-resistant polypropylene cylinder, 3"<br />
diameter x 2.5", with 6 feet of input cord and 4 feet of output cord. It is protected from<br />
overloads with an internal fuse. Operating and programming instructions are included.<br />
Weight is 14 oz.<br />
Solar Panel<br />
The Solarex photovoltaic cell provides a welcome<br />
alternative to conventional power generation, making<br />
night collecting possible in areas where electricity is<br />
unreliable or non-existent. It converts light energy<br />
from the sun into DC electricity to charge a battery,<br />
using a technology that is silent, non-polluting and<br />
portable, with no moving parts to wear out.<br />
The lightweight panel is made from EVA laminates<br />
with anodized aluminum backing. Dimensions are<br />
17.6 x 19.6 x .4" (44.7 x 49.8 x 1 cm), small enough<br />
for easy storage.<br />
The durable solar panel has a peak output of 1.11<br />
amps and 16.8 volts, 18.6 watts (typical) and 27 watts<br />
(minimum). A 10-foot output cord is attached. It<br />
recharges a 12 amp-hour battery or power pack in<br />
six to eight hours of ‘normal’ sunshine, depending on<br />
battery charge depletion. The panel converts sunlight<br />
into electricity even on cloudy days. It is weather<br />
resistant, and can be secured to a vehicle’s roof while<br />
traveling to the next collecting location.<br />

This economical trap provides a simple method for passive trapping of ground insects and other<br />
arthropods. When used with ethylene glycol (radiator antifreeze), it keeps specimens in good condition<br />
for extended periods between trap servicing.<br />
The trap includes two white plastic pint containers, 4-1/2 x 3", placed in the ground so that the rim is<br />
flush with the soil surface. The upper container is lifted out to remove specimens, and the bottom<br />
container stays in the ground. A white plastic top, 10-1/4" diameter, deflects rainfall and provides<br />
shade.<br />
The trap top is secured with three 16-penny construction nails pushed through pre-punched holes in<br />
the top and into the ground. Clearance of about 1/2" above the containers is provided by three<br />
aluminum spacers and washers placed on nails under the top. (Ethylene glycol not included.)<br />

Universal Black Light Traps<br />
Photoelectric Switches<br />
Universal Black Light Traps<br />
These versatile traps are engineered to facilitate a wide variety<br />
of adaptations and conditions required for night collecting<br />
of insects. Two styles of fluorescent black lights, and choice of<br />
AC or DC power make this a truly universal trap. Photoelectric<br />
switches (2833A and 2833B) and the 2835 12-volt DC<br />
timer, which permit trap operation when the user is not present,<br />
are effective enhancements to the traps. Only those components<br />
best suited for the user’s specialized application need<br />
to be purchased.<br />
The basic component is the 2851A, consisting of the following<br />
five parts:<br />
$ 3-1/2 gallon polypropylene bucket, 10-1/2" (26.7 cm) high<br />
$ 12" (30 cm) diameter; smooth surfaced, lightweight funnel<br />
custom spun of .035 aluminum to fit lip of the bucket<br />
$ Aluminum lid with loop carrying handle<br />
$ 4-way bungee cord assembly<br />
$ Rain drain, mounted in hole on side of the bucket, near the<br />
bottom; plug supplied to close opening when rain drain is not<br />
needed<br />
The funnel can be waxed, polished or teflon-plated for additional<br />
smoothness. Collected specimens falling through bottom<br />
of the funnel may be collected in a jar containing alcohol,<br />
in a 2851J mesh collecting bag; or a 1196 DDVP pest strip<br />
used as a killing agent may be placed in the lower portion of<br />
the bucket.<br />
Photoelectric Switches<br />
The effective operation of portable night light collecting systems can<br />
be enhanced considerably by using a photoelectric switch. These<br />
light sensitive devices automatically turn black lights "on" at dusk,<br />
and "off" at dawn, and are available for AC or DC applications. They<br />
make unattended night collecting possible when the user is not on<br />
hand to turn the lights on or off, and eliminate power consumption<br />
during daylight hours.<br />
Switches are housed in aluminum boxes 1-5/8 x 2-1/8 x 2-3/4" with<br />
small windows that expose photo cells to light changes. Two 18"<br />
electrical leads with appropriate AC or DC connectors are provided.<br />
The 2833A photoelectric switch is designed for lights and traps using<br />
120-volt 60 Hz (North American) electrical current. It has a 300-watt<br />
capacity, and is compatible with <strong>BioQuip</strong> 2804, 2806, 2818 and 2819<br />
collecting lights as well as 2851T and 2851L Universal black light<br />
traps.<br />
2833A AC photoelectric switch 47.55<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> 7<br />
The 2833B switch is used with lights and traps wired for 12-volt DC<br />
current (commonly used in motor vehicles and battery packs). It has<br />
a 50-watt capacity, and can be used with one or two 2804 or 2805<br />
collecting lights, or with two 2851U or 2851M traps. This photoswitch<br />
is effective in reducing drain on batteries because unattended lights<br />
are ‘on’ only during dark hours.<br />

FIELD<br />
Fluorescent black light tubes used to attract a wide spectrum<br />
of insects are placed in the trap to permit 360° visibility. Two<br />
types are available:<br />
$ The 12-watt ‘U’-shaped tube is entirely visible when the trap is<br />
in operation. This black light is both space and power<br />
efficient.<br />
$ The 22-watt Circline black light tube is mounted on top of<br />
vanes under the trap’s lid. It provides greater attracting<br />
ability than the 10-watt model but uses more electrical power<br />
in operation.<br />
Traps are powered either by 120-volt AC 60 Hz (North American)<br />
electrical current, or 12-volt DC current used in most<br />
vehicle or power pack batteries. Appropriate AC or DC electrical<br />
connectors are provided. Ballasts are hung on the outside<br />
of the bucket, and may be protected from moisture by a<br />
plastic bag.<br />
Lights are mounted on hinged, four-part clear acrylic vanes<br />
that also support the lid and provide baffling for incoming<br />
insects.<br />
Because all components can be packed inside Universal Light<br />
Traps, these compact units are conveniently stored or transported<br />
to and from collecting locations. Average weight of a<br />
complete trap is five pounds.<br />

Insect Vacs<br />
Highly portable, hand-held Insect Vacs are ideal for collecting<br />
mosquitoes from dark, inaccessible spots where they congregate.<br />
They are also convenient for sampling or examination<br />
of potential disease vectors and agricultural pests such as<br />
ants, flies, & small moths, or for collecting mosquitoes and<br />
other small insects from cages .<br />
Each Insect Vac is powered by a modified Black & Decker<br />
Dust-Buster TM . It has a filter to limit intake of foreign materials,<br />
and a nose section with clear acrylic tube holding a removable<br />
collecting chamber 5" (12.7 cm) long x 2" (5.1 cm) in<br />
diameter. This versatile chamber has aluminum screen across<br />
one end for air flow, and a flap valve at the other. Supplemental<br />
end cap prevents escape of specimens when chamber is<br />
removed. By using multiple chambers, live specimens can be<br />
gathered from several locations and taken to the laboratory<br />
for identification or study.<br />
Vacs are 19-1/2" (49.5 cm) long, and weigh only two pounds.<br />
See page B for nozzle/extension set.<br />
1135C Aspirator<br />
A superior device for collecting soft-bodied insects<br />
which must be kept in, or collected into alcohol.<br />
Designed by T.M. Allen, aspirator is a double chambered<br />
unit with a 2-dram inner vial filled with alcohol<br />
or other fluid into which live specimens are<br />
dropped.<br />
The suction tube has a flexible connection<br />
fitted directly to the clear plastic outer vial<br />
(30 x 100 mm) through a two-hole stopper.<br />
The pickup tube for the collection<br />
of insects is also clear plastic. It is<br />
connected by a 24" latex tube leading<br />
directly through the stopper<br />
and into the inner vial of alcohol.<br />
Air movement through the aspirator<br />
is screened twice with<br />
220 mesh nylon. The inner<br />

for medical and agricultural entomologists.<br />
This new blowing aspirator eliminates the possibility<br />
of inhaling foreign matter into the lungs,<br />
trachea or sinus cavities.<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> has developed the unique blowing aspirator<br />
from designs submitted by entomologist<br />
Clyde Barnhart. Although a blowing-type aspirator<br />
is intrinsically not as efficient as a suckingtype<br />
model and requires more lung power, this<br />
is the most effective product we have seen or<br />
tested.<br />

around a 3-1/2<br />
gallon sturdy polypropylene<br />
bucket. A lightweight,<br />
spun aluminum<br />
funnel rests on the<br />
bucket’s rim. The<br />
funnel’s smooth surface<br />
may be waxed and<br />
polished if desired. A<br />
1/4" wire mesh screen inside the funnel supports the litter from<br />
which specimens are collected. An AC electrical socket for use<br />
with a 25-watt light bulb is mounted on the underside of the spun<br />
aluminum lid. A six-foot self-polarizing electrical cord contains a<br />
rotary on/off switch. Heat generated by the lamp dries out the<br />
material, and specimens drop down through the screen into a<br />
collecting jar or container of alcohol. (Light bulb and jar not<br />
included.) The Berlese funnel has a 12" (30.5 cm) diameter, is<br />
14" (35.6 cm) high, and weighs 3 pounds, 4 oz.<br />

When placed in a Berlese funnel or other collecting<br />
device, heat packs release heat, avoiding<br />
the need for a light bulb and allowing Berlese<br />
funnels to be used where electricity is inconvenient<br />
or not available.<br />
Biodegradable heat packs generate their own<br />
heat, reaching and maintaining a temperature<br />
between 100° and 158°F. Based on an ancient Chinese formula,<br />
packets contain a mix of iron powder, salt, activated carbon,<br />
water, and wood fibers. Sealed packets are air-activated by<br />
punching a hole in the outer package. They are lightweight,<br />
environmentally safe, practical, and disposable.<br />
Heat packs are 4 x 5" and provide 5 - 10 hours of heat in a<br />
Berlese funnel. They have a shelf life of four years before they<br />
are opened.<br />

Unique, collapsible Berlese funnel was developed<br />
from a design by entomologist LaDonna<br />
Ivie. When extended for use, the funnel is<br />
36" high (91 cm), but when collapsed it is<br />
only 4.5" high x 12.25" in diameter (11.4<br />
x 31 cm).<br />
Upper portion of the funnel section is<br />
unbleached muslin to allow evaporation<br />
of moisture. The funnel is smooth, white<br />
nylon ripstop, with two 12" steel rings<br />
sewn in place and a plastic funnel at the<br />
bottom. A .25" mesh galvanized metal<br />
screen is secured to the lower ring. The<br />
user can place a smaller mesh screen on<br />
top of this screen if desired. Ground litter<br />
from which insects are to be collected is<br />
placed on the screen.<br />
A lamp base with socket, on/off knob, hangar<br />
loop, and 6-foot cord are secured by a drawstring<br />
at the top of the funnel section. The unit<br />
operates on 120V AC electrical current, and a<br />
low-wattage light bulb (not included) is used to<br />
heat and dry out the material placed on the<br />
screen.<br />
The collector is a Whirl-Pak bag (4 oz, 200 ml<br />
capacity) attached to the plastic funnel. This leakproof<br />
bag can be filled with alcohol or other specimen collecting<br />
fluid, and is easily removed and sealed after specimens have<br />
been collected.<br />

This versatile new funnel was designed for<br />
use as a small insect collector or classroom<br />
demonstration unit. It has two 32-oz.<br />
clear styrene jars that can be unscrewed<br />
for access to the collector portion.<br />
Ground litter or infested plant/tree material<br />
is placed in the upper, vented area and<br />
heated from sunlight coming through a window<br />
or lamp placed over the unit. To avoid<br />
heat and dryness, insects crawl downward<br />
and drop through the 1/4" screen mesh and<br />
styrene funnel in the lower half. Live insects<br />
are trapped in the lower portion for<br />
observation, or the catch may be collected<br />
by partially filling the 2-oz. styrene jar with<br />
alcohol and placing it under the funnel.<br />
Dimensions are 4-1/2" diameter, 7-7/8" high (11.4 x 20 cm).<br />

Malaise Traps<br />
Malaise Trap<br />
Carrying Case<br />
2875AG<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> Malaise traps are effective 24-hour collectors of any insect<br />
species that flies. They enable entomologists to conduct random<br />
survey sampling for migration, population and ecological studies.<br />
Optimum location for set up is in natural flyway such as streambed,<br />
wooded area opening, wash or gully. Insects encounter netting sides<br />
of the trap during normal flight and are directed to crawl upward into<br />
the collecting chamber. The sloping top prevents escape from the<br />
upper area.<br />
Traps may be erected and left unattended for long periods of time<br />
with periodic servicing of the collecting chamber. Because of their<br />
designs, Malaise traps collect insects flying from all directions as air<br />
movement changes. They are especially effective for collection of<br />
Diptera and Hymenoptera.<br />
2875A and 2875AG traps are square in configuration with four central<br />
vanes to stop insect flight. Model 2875D is ‘H’ shaped, based on<br />
the Townes pattern (Ent. News 83:239-247, 1972) with the collecting<br />
head located at the top.<br />
The tent portion is made of white or green tricot polyester netting,<br />
carefully sewn and reinforced at the seams with nylon carpet tape.<br />
White netting has been used in <strong>BioQuip</strong> Malaise trap tents for many<br />
years. Dark green netting is also listed for those who feel that white<br />
tents reflect too much sunlight and influence quantity of specimens or<br />
number of species captured. It blends well with most backgrounds<br />
and may assure a more representative sampling than white netting.<br />
The dry-type collecting head is an 8" x 4" diameter clear acrylic tube<br />
with inverted truncated funnel at the bottom to direct insects into the<br />
chamber and prevent escape. Permanently mounted bungee cords<br />
are used to attach the cap to the collecting head, and to secure the<br />
collecting head to the trap socket. The collecting chamber is easily<br />
removed for access to specimens or for recharging by unhooking<br />
Durable bag is designed<br />
for transporting and storing<br />
Malaise traps, with<br />
ample space for all components<br />
of any trap described<br />
above. A canvas<br />
inner bag is provided for<br />
metal pole segments to<br />
prevent damage to tent<br />
netting or acrylic collecting<br />
head. Forest green<br />
bag is constructed of water-resistant durable polyester, with<br />
double zipper across full length, vinyl piping around ends, and<br />
double nylon web carrying handles. Size: 24" long x 12" diameter,<br />
folds flat.<br />
This case is also ideal for carrying or stowing 24" collecting net<br />
segments, 15-watt BL collecting lights, and other long or bulky<br />
items which are difficult to pack and carry when traveling.<br />

the bungee loops. A chamber for cyanide or Vapona is built into the<br />
head.<br />
Liquid killing agents such as ethyl acetate or acetone must not be<br />
used in the collecting head as these chemicals will fracture or otherwise<br />
degrade the plastic. Ethyl alcohol in dilution greater than 20%<br />
will cause the acrylic to fracture.<br />
Center support poles are swaged aluminum tube segments. A 12"<br />
steel spike is partially inserted into the bottom segment, with the point<br />
driven into the ground for center pole stability. Nylon cord tie-downs<br />
and plastic tent stakes are provided to secure tautness in set up.<br />

Six Meter Malaise Trap<br />
Malaise traps usually are stretched across a stream path,<br />
open area or other natural flyway for passive collection of<br />
flying insects. The six-meter Malaise trap, as described by<br />
Gressitt and Gressitt*, is several times larger than any other<br />
Malaise trap available commercially. With its successfully<br />
proven design, double collecting head, and large square<br />
foot exposure, it gathers almost unlimited numbers of insects<br />
in a relatively short period of time when properly located.<br />
(During summer months in Florida, a trap will fill the<br />
two collecting heads in 24 hours.)<br />
The trap is 6 meters (19.5 feet) long, 3 meters (9.75 feet)<br />
high, and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide. It is designed to be<br />
suspended between trees with the roof held open by ropes<br />
tied to vegetation. The bottom is secured with stakes. The<br />
trap can be erected by one person, and instructions are included<br />
for set up and constructing a simple A-frame support<br />
when there are no trees available. Frame not included with<br />
this trap.<br />
The trap is carefully fabricated of strong, UV resistant, 14 x<br />
18 mesh gray polyester, reinforced at the corners. The ‘dry’<br />
type collecting chambers are 4" diameter x 9" long, made of<br />
clear acrylic plastic with polyethylene funnel, and clear acrylic<br />
inner poison container. <strong>BioQuip</strong> suggests using pieces of<br />
1196 DDVP strip as killing agent (see page 9). Sold with<br />
complete instructions. Shipping weight is 15 lbs.<br />

Lindgren Funnel Trap<br />
Versatile and effective trapping system was developed by Staffan Lindgren at Simon Fraser University<br />
and is successful for monitoring or mass trapping of ambrosia and bark beetles in coniferous forests.<br />
Traps were designed to use semiochemicals to attract beetles, but they capture other tree pests as well<br />
when using various crushed grains as lures. (<strong>BioQuip</strong> does not supply pheromones or other lures; they<br />
must be purchased locally.)<br />
Traps consist of a series of four, eight, or 12 plastic funnels arranged vertically. The conical shape of<br />
each funnel allows an unobstructed 360-degree catch radius. The downward angle of each funnel<br />
causes fast-approaching beetles to be deflected downward into the collecting cup. Escape is prevented<br />
by the baffling arrangement of funnels. Capture does not rely on sticky surfaces or chemical<br />
pesticides. Beetles are killed through heat and dehydration. A conical drain in the collection bottle<br />
increases drainage and prevents clogging from debris. A collecting cup without drain is available as a<br />
separate item for those using a liquid killing agent,<br />
Traps are hung from branches or from rope strung between trees. They are light and collapsible for easy<br />
transport.<br />

Luminous Paints<br />
and Powders<br />
For biologists using black light (ultraviolet) equipment,<br />
luminous marking is valuable aid in behavior and population<br />
studies. Wide variety of experiments is facilitated<br />
by marking arthropods or other animals for easy location<br />
and identification.<br />
Marking paint and pigment powders manufactured by<br />
Shannon Luminous Materials, Inc. were originally developed<br />
for the theatrical industry. Non-toxic paint is acrylic<br />
and fluorescence does not wash off. Using the powder is<br />
especially convenient for marking small insects that need<br />
not be treated individually. Powder remains on specimens<br />
indefinitely, permitting identification at a later time<br />
under UV fluorescence. Both paint and powder are visible<br />
in daylight.<br />
These items are listed in blue, red, yellow and white.<br />
Both paint and powder are available in a 3-color kit. Individual<br />
paint colors are packaged in 4 oz. glass jars; individual<br />
powder colors are packaged in 2 oz. polystyrene<br />
jars.<br />

Katadyn77777 Pocket Water Filter<br />
This water<br />
filter has held<br />
the reputation<br />
of being the finest<br />
available for extreme<br />
conditions for<br />
over 30 years, with excellent performance even in very cloudy<br />
water. It is extremely tough, easy to handle, compact and lightweight,<br />
with unparalleled ability to provide safe water at a flowrate<br />
to 1 quart (1 liter) per minute.<br />
With a pore size of only 0.2 micron, all known bacteria and<br />
parasites are physically removed. The ceramic filter element is<br />
protected against growthrough of bacteria, even after years of<br />
use. Cocci, protozoa, fungi, giardia cysts, cryptosporidium are<br />
removed, and carriers of cholera, typhoid, bilharzia, shigellosis,<br />
typhoid, traveler's diarrhea, amebiasis, schistosomiasis and salmonellosis<br />
are eliminated.<br />
The filter's effectiveness does not depend on variables such as<br />
temperature, acidity, turbidity or level of dissolved or suspended<br />
mineral and organic matter. Chemical-free filtration provides<br />
water with its own natural taste and mineral contents - it is clear,<br />
clean, and bacteria-free.<br />
The filter's outside parts are aluminum with built-in pump, and<br />
the turquoise housing is polypropylene. The 40" (100 cm) suction<br />
hose has an intake strainer to eliminate coarse debris.<br />
Katadyn's ceramic technology is the most cost effective available.<br />
Filter elements are cleanable and reusable, and will filter<br />
up to 50,000 liters of water, 100 times more than competitive<br />
filters, before needing to be replaced.<br />
The unit comes with cleaning brush and user instructions, all of<br />
which pack neatly into its zippered soft carrying case. Dimensions<br />
are 10" long x 2" diameter (25 x 5 cm); weight is 21 oz.<br />

Handheld GPS<br />
Water Filters<br />
A Global Positioning System has become<br />
an important tool for biologists working outdoors<br />
or travellng, recording, and storing<br />
locations accurately. It is used for field<br />
studies in bioassay, environmental monitoring,<br />
and sampling. It provides the exact<br />
location for insect observation, collecting,<br />
or monitoring data in longitude/latitude coordinates,<br />
understood worldwide, with far<br />
more precision than ".3 miles from<br />
trailhead," a location that may not exist<br />
after next year's spring flood. A GPS is<br />
also a guide to determine where you are,<br />
where you are going, and how to get there<br />
and back again, in any kind of weather.<br />
Magellan Systems introduced the first<br />
hand-held GPS receiver in 1988. The<br />
state-of-the-art receiver available from<br />
<strong>BioQuip</strong> has three navigational screens.<br />

What is GPS?<br />
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of U.S.<br />
Government satellites orbiting 12,000 miles above Earth, constantly<br />
transmitting precise time and their position in space.<br />
GPS receivers listen to these satellite signals and use them to<br />
determine the location of the receiver, how fast and in what<br />
direction it is moving. They report and record your position,<br />
shown as latitude/longitude coordinates. To guide you to another<br />
spot, the GPS compares two sets of coordinates and<br />
calculates direction and distance from one to another.<br />

sizes to suit many space requirements makes these enclosures<br />
ideal for both institutional and personal use.<br />
The cages are fabricated with white polyester/nylon netting,<br />

keep contents dry. The fine mesh prevents most small insects<br />
from entering or leaving the cage. Five mesh sides promote<br />
healthy air flow, and one side is a vinyl window that allows<br />
clear viewing into the cage. A large, protected zippered opening<br />
is provided for easy access. A hanging/carry loop holds<br />
the enclosure closed for storage.<br />

Insect Resistant Coverall<br />
With the arrival of Africanized honey bees<br />
into Texas, across the Southwest, and<br />
approaching California, outdoor workers<br />
may need to wear protective clothing for<br />
prolonged periods of time. <strong>BioQuip</strong>’s Insect<br />
Resistant Coverall has been carefully<br />
produced to meet this challenge. It<br />
is made of non-attracting white Nylon ripstop.<br />
The very closely woven material<br />
provides an almost slick surface, resistant<br />
to bees that must cling tightly to fabric<br />
in order to penetrate with a stinger. The<br />
material has been successfully tested in<br />
the field, providing effective protection<br />
against European honey bees, wasps<br />
and yellow jackets, carpenter bees, mosquitos,<br />
deerflies, and horseflies.<br />
With safety and comfort in mind, the Coverall<br />
has been substantially redesigned<br />
and improved since <strong>BioQuip</strong> introduced<br />
it in 1991. Zippers along each side of the<br />
suit provide underarm ventilation as well<br />
as access to inside pockets. The Coverall<br />
is zippered all the way from the crotch<br />
to the top of the collar, preventing access<br />
by bees at the neck or any point along<br />
the zippered front. Side and front zippers<br />
have two sliders allowing access from either<br />
end. Additional protection is afforded<br />
by Velcro tabs at wrists and ankles.<br />

Bee Veil & Helmet<br />
Combination veil and helmet is quickly and easily positioned<br />
over the head when needed. The rigid, woven tan/white safaristyle<br />
helmet is lightweight, with Velcro adjustment bands for<br />
correct fit. The round veil is made of one piece, 10 mesh, black<br />
steel screen fastened to Nylon ace netting skirts at top and<br />
bottom. The top skirt has an elastic band to hold the veil securely<br />
in place under four aluminum studs in the crown of the<br />
helmet. The bottom skirt has a drawstring to pull the veil tight<br />
around a shirt or jacket collar.<br />

bees. A perforated metal grate provides the largest possible<br />
volume of cool smoke.<br />

The Coverall has two outside breast<br />
pockets with Velco closure tabs, two lower<br />
front pockets, a back pocket for tools, and<br />
a ring at the front for convenience in hooking<br />
a tool or keys.<br />
The Coverall’s hat is a woven, rigid, ventilated,<br />
tan safari-style helmet, equipped<br />
with size adjusting bands. Its broad brim<br />
holds the veil away from the face. A fiberglass<br />
screen veil protects the face and<br />

bottom provides additional ventilation.<br />
The veil and hat are secured with a zipper<br />

Tomahawk Live Animal Traps<br />
Tomahawk live traps are constructed of galvanized wire fabric<br />
with heavy steel rod reinforcement where needed. Animals enter<br />
these traps with more confidence because they can see<br />
through in all directions. The automatic locking feature of the<br />
safety door makes escape almost impossible. These rugged<br />
traps are painted light brown so they may be used upon arrival<br />
without waiting for the galvanization to weather.<br />
Three folding traps and one rigid trap are listed below to meet a<br />
variety of requirements. Small traps are used by public health<br />
personnel to collect mice, rats and squirrels for blood sampling<br />
or to determine presence of parasites. Larger traps are used by<br />
biologists and animal regulation workers for monitoring or transfer<br />
of skunks, cats and other mammals. The sparrow trap is<br />
used by mosquito workers to collect blood samples in vector<br />
research and control.<br />

Mini Plant Press<br />
Portable and practical<br />
miniherbarium for<br />
field identification of<br />
plants. Use of mini<br />
plant presses for reference<br />
collections<br />
saves wear and tear<br />
on larger, standard<br />
herbarium sheets in<br />
large herbaria. This<br />
economical system is<br />
useful to professionals, teachers and students in many fields including<br />
entomology, ecology and forestry.<br />
The small amount of plant material needed for specimens results<br />
in conservation of wildflowers and plants, and the press is<br />
small enough to be carried in a pocket or purse.<br />
Press consists of two pieces of hardboard, a dozen each 3 x 5"<br />
(76 x 127 mm) cards & driers, and wide elastic bands. The mini<br />
press was designed at the Southwestern Research Station,<br />
American Museum, and a reprint of the article from the American<br />
Biology Teacher describing its use is included with order.<br />

Tree Seedling Tray<br />
This 98-cell tray system provides a<br />
superior method for botanists and entomologists<br />
to raise seedlings for insect<br />
colonies or rearing experiments<br />
in forestry programs. Individual cells<br />
can be rearranged within each tray,<br />
permitting individual seedlings to be<br />
moved for optimum environmental<br />
conditions, or removed as needed for transplanting or shipping.<br />
Cells are low-density plastic and can be used 3 - 5 times. They<br />
have anti-spiral ribs and a bottom drainage hole with side drain<br />
holes on the tapered end. Seedlings can be shipped in cells to<br />
protect against moisture loss and damage to root systems.<br />
Trays are made of durable polystyrene and have a life expectancy<br />
of 8 - 10 years. Racks are partially vented on the surface<br />
to provide more air flow between cells, and have locking corners<br />
for easy stacking and storage.<br />
Cell dimensions are 1.5" dia. x 5.5 depth (3.8 x 14 cm). Tray<br />
dimensions are 24" long x 12" wide x 6.9" high (61 x 30 x 18 cm).<br />

Plant Seedling Trays<br />
Hiko7 sprouting trays are used worldwide in nurseries, greenhouses,<br />
and labs for the production of high-quality seedlings<br />
and cuttings. They are convenient for propagating tree seedlings<br />
in forest entomology programs or for flowering host plants.<br />
These reusable trays are made of durable, high-density polyethylene,<br />
a plastic that is recyclable and easy to clean. All tray<br />
cavities have vertical root training ribs to prevent root spiraling.<br />
Trays have a useful life of more than 10 years in cool climates,<br />
and a life expectancy of 8 years in tropical conditions.<br />

Astonishing Army Ants: The Most Important<br />
Predators in Neotropical Forests<br />
Army ants are the most spectacular ants in the<br />
Western Hemisphere. This video record guides the<br />
viewer expertly into their savage and alien world. It<br />
is an outstanding presentation covering the life cycle<br />
and behavior of the Large Swarm Raiding Army<br />
Ant, Eciton burchellii.<br />
The DVD is filled with facts explaining why these<br />
ants are so astonishing. Their queen lays 100,000<br />
eggs every 35 days for her entire life of five years. They eat so<br />
much, a colony must move move often to raid for food. Emigrations<br />
are amazing with almost every ant carrying a larva. Colonies<br />
are immortal - each comes from a previous colony.<br />
This truly astonishing DVD was produced by Carl W. Rettenmeyer,<br />
the world authority on army ants, who has virutally lived with<br />
these amazing insects during 35 years of research in the rain<br />
forests of Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador. Ages eight to<br />
adult; NTSC version; running time: 55 minutes.<br />

Wild silkmoths are collected like butterflies<br />
for their often large size, bold pattern<br />
and colors, and are popular with<br />
artists and wildlife photographers. Caterpillars<br />
of some are eaten, and stings<br />
from others can cause death. Only a<br />
handful of the more than 1500 species<br />
are agricultural pests. Kirby Wolfe has<br />
spent more than 25 years studying and photographing these moths.<br />
He shares his <strong>knowledge</strong> and provides high resolution, printable<br />
photographs of live specimens of over 250 species, including their<br />
caterpillars. Includes an overview of the Saturniidae, rearing moths,<br />
photographing moths, and classification.<br />
