Modular BlackAnt – Test Tube Adapter

Modular BlackAnt – Test Tube Adapter

Safe and clean colony transfer into BlackAnt modules

The Modular BlackAnt test tube adapter is a practical component of the AntCenter modular system, designed to enable a hygienic and stress-free connection between a test tube colony and a nest module or arena.

Thanks to the adapter, ants can move from the test tube into their new nest at their own natural pace, without shaking, tipping, or risking damage to the colony. This makes the transfer process safe, controlled, and comfortable for both the ants and the keeper.

The adapter is an essential accessory for initial colony setup as well as for later relocations within modular ant systems.
