Hello,
I need to do some heat treatment experiments on insects. I need
something made of metal and glass, that is very well ventilated (at
least 30% or more of the surface as screen, etc.) and that I can see
into easily, something I can attach to standard aspirator and suck the
insects right in (I can adapt something to put it in, or if it fits into
a standard collection vial that would be ideal) and that won't leach out
volatiles.
I have some photos of sort of what I am talking about if you'd like to
take a look.
I have some plastic vials adapted that would work, but we are concerned
that the heat might cause toxins to come off the plastic/adhesive and
bias the experiment. If you have experience with plastic vials and know
of ones that are safe and won't do this let me know that too.
Thanks!
