This LAB-AIDS‚® kit offers students a very effective means for learning about living organisms. Students extract nematodes and explore their characteristics and structure. Sampling is easy as Nematodes can be extracted from almost any type of soil sample. Everything needed to extract nematodes is included in this kit. The Nematode Extractor (Pat. No. 3,520,421) can be used over and over again by your classes. A microscope is necessary for this activity, which requires 24 hours.
