Drosophila Vial

Drosophila vials, also known as fly vials, are small transparent containers used to hold and culture fruit flies, particularly Drosophila melanogaster, in laboratory settings. They are made of high-quality plastic or glass and come in various sizes to accommodate different experimental needs. Drosophila vials typically have a narrow opening and a tight-fitting cap to prevent the flies from escaping while still allowing for air circulation. They can be filled with a variety of media, such as agar or molasses-based food, to provide the flies with necessary nutrients and a suitable environment for growth and reproduction. Drosophila vials are a critical component of genetic and developmental research and are widely used in studies related to evolution, neurobiology, and disease.
