Extract

Attempts to rear plants and animals under aseptic conditions have led to the development of special cabinets in which the atmosphere can be sterilized and the experimental materials manipulated without fear of contamination. The mechanical design, instrumentation, and principles upon which the development of such equipment is based have been admirably discussed by Reyniers (1943). House and Patton (1949) made an ingenious modification of Reyniers' cabinet whereby it can be used to anaesthetize, handle, and weigh cockroaches aseptically.
