I am planning to perform the Larval Packet Test (LPT) for my test. I need some tips/advice from the expert before I started to conduct it. This is due to the constraint I faced just to transfer a few larvae from one container to another. It makes me feel that is impossible to transfer 100 larvae to a small packet, neatly contain in it without any escape during and after transfer.
You can try to keep them cold somehow, either on a chill table or in a fridge or freezer. That will slow them down enough to be able to transfer them without escaping.
Use a small vacuum pump. Aspirate the ticks into the packet. Depending on the species, a few minutes in a refrigerator will slow them down. Hope this helps.
Te ayudas de un pincel de punta fina y una aguja de disección. Rotas el pincel sobre la base posterior del frasco donde tienes las larva y la pequeña masa que capturas la trasfieres a tus paquetes.
Envíame tu correo y te mando unas fotos para que lo veas como se hace.
Saludos
