Glass Fumigant Holders

Post by lamprima2 »

I ordered them from BioQuip many years ago
(BQ: 1149GD "Holder for dry fumigants").
I usually put pieces of No-Pest Strips (Dichlorvos) into
these holders and pin the holders into the drawers.
It is easy to replace the fumigant. The specimens are
protected from possible staining.
Does anyone know if these holders or something similar
are still available from other suppliers?
If not, Is there any DIY alternative?

Hi all,
I was unable to find this type of holder.
That's why I invented my own one:
a 5 ml beaker, glued to a T-shaped pin bent to 90 degrees
with a Loctite Epoxy.

This is a great idea. Thank you for sharing. I also ordered these from Bioquip in the past and have been looking for more. I looked again when I saw your new post and was able to find a supplier in Quebec. I have been to this store once before and they have many nice products by the way.

biscuit153,
It looks like this company ships only to Canada.
I tried to contact them, but there was no reply
(It could have gone to the spam, of course).
