These are the approximate dimensions in the equipment of my laboratory. I hope they guide you.

Rinus Knoetze

Thank you very much

Did you get to build the oostenbrick elutriator? I am trying to buy it, however it is really expensive.

Hallo Carlos

No we never actually did get to build the Oostenbrink elutriator, but we did manage to get a Seinhorst cyst elutriator build a couple of years ago, which is very much the same dimensions. A company specializing in stainless steel manufacturing built it. It was quite expensive, but I can not remember the exact prize, as it was at my previous job.

Dear Rinus, in the Nematology Laboratory at Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, we have these two Oostenbrinks. Maybe the photograph can help you see the dimensions. Regards
