Abstract
A simple Perspex and stainless steel device is described suitable for rapid, simultaneous homogenization of numbers (60) of small insects individually for electrophoresis. Since this device significantly decreases the time taken for preparation of samples (commonly a rate-limiting stage in electrophoretic studies), it may be of value to other workers in entomology and insect population genetics.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
