The flek-AL-N-M(B) Series: Modern Insect Rearing Cages for Laboratory and Field Research
 
The flek-AL-N-M(B) Series is a revolutionary modular, flat-pack rearing system designed specifically for entomological research involving mosquito-sized insects and other small arthropods. These professional-grade cages combine innovative engineering with practical laboratory functionality, offering researchers a superior alternative to traditional wooden cages.
 
Key Features & Design Elements:
 
The naming convention reflects the cage's intelligent construction:
 
flek – Flexible, dismantlable design shipped flat and assembled tool-free by users
AL – Robust aluminum profile frame resistant to corrosion and frequent handling
N – Standard nylon mesh (~650 µm pore size) optimized for most mosquito-sized insects
M – All-mesh panels providing exceptional airflow and complete visibility
B - Black Nylon Mesh provides superior contrast for observing insect behavior and reduces reflective glare in laboratory settings.
 
Practical Advantages:
 
Each cage is equipped with a front sleeve opening that enables effortless insect handling, feeding, and sampling while minimizing escape risk. The clean, obstruction-free interior design reduces insect hiding spots, simplifies thorough cleaning, and maintains optimal hygiene standards for research environments. The combination of lightweight aluminum construction with durable nylon mesh creates a system that is both portable and built to withstand frequent use in demanding laboratory conditions. The black mesh provides superior contrast for observing insect behavior and reduces reflective glare in laboratory settings.
 
Applications & Use Cases:
 
The flek-AL-N-M(B) Series excels in diverse research and operational contexts, including:
 
Mosquito colony establishment and maintenance
 
Feeding and mating behavior experiments
 
Bioassay and toxicology studies
 
Insect containment during transport and field trials
 
Vector control program implementations
 
The black mesh provides superior contrast for observing insect behavior and reduces reflective glare in laboratory settings.
 
Industry Adoption:
 
These cages have earned widespread recognition in vector control programs, agricultural insectaries, and public health laboratories where reusability, portability, visibility, and research integrity are paramount. The modular design and lightweight construction make these cages indispensable for both stationary laboratory setups and mobile field research operations.
 
Why Choose the flek-AL-N-M(B) Series:
 
The flek-AL-N-M(B) represents a modern evolution in entomological equipment—combining the durability and functionality of professional laboratory systems with the convenience of contemporary, user-friendly design. Whether you're conducting critical vector surveillance research, maintaining insect colonies, or performing complex bioassays, these cages provide the reliability, visibility, and flexibility your research demands.
