Insect rearing Equipment

Mass- and laboratory-rearing of insects is a key component of research projects and several integrated pest management strategies; vector control via sterile insect techniques (SIT) has been and continues to be an effective means of pest and disease control (e.g. Malaria, Dengue etc.). Furthermore, insect rearing for replacing classical protein sources is gaining increasing attention worldwide.

VSI Insect Rearing Tools

Vienna Scientific Instruments works together with entomologists to provide versatile instruments and tools for (mass) insect rearing such as

  • insect rearing cages for oviposition (mass rearing) and research,
  • larval rearing tray and rack systems, 
  • larvae mass rearing trays,
  • automatic feeding systems for tray & rack mass rearing systems,
  • brushing systems to remove eggs from oviposition paper strips,
  • sized-based sex separator, and
  • Insect collector (automatic aspirator) and counter.

We are currently also developing devices allowing for a controlled (and automated) portioning and release of flying insects.

 

In research, insect pests must be investigated using high numbers of individuals to evaluate all potential control methods. In SIT, large numbers of insects have to be reared and released repeatedly. The requirement for efficient mosquito mass rearing / insect mass rearing technology has been one of the major obstacles preventing the large scale application of the Sterile Insect Technique against mosquitoes and other insects. Furthermore, an increased interest in using insects as alternative, sustainable source of protein for feed and food can be noticed and requires the development of cost efficient mosquito rearing / insect rearing solutions. Insects have highly varied habits and habitats. Their size ranges from a millimetre to over a hand span long and their food and feeding habits are equally variable. Insects are known to occur in subzero temperatures to the inhospitable hot springs. Owing to such varied preferences, insects’ rearing requires specific techniques for different species. In close collaboration with entomologists, Vienna Scientific strives to develop the best technologies for insect rearing to meet the growing demand.
