flyPAD Custom
Multi-Species Behavioral Adaptations
The same capacitance-based technology that powers the flyPAD, adapted for other insects and arthropods. We have validated designs for mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti), ants, and bees — and can develop custom adaptations for your species of interest.
Key Features
Mosquito Feeding Assays
Validated for Aedes aegypti by independent researchers. Ideal for vector biology, insecticide screening, and blood-feeding behavior studies.
Ant Behavior Monitoring
Arena adaptations for monitoring individual ant feeding and foraging interactions with capacitance-based detection.
Bee Research
Custom configurations for studying bee feeding behavior, proboscis extension response, and food preference.
Custom Species Development
Working with a novel species? We can design and validate a custom flyPAD adaptation for your research organism.
Same Proven Technology
All custom adaptations use the same high-throughput, automated capacitance detection proven in more than 200 Drosophila publications.
Scalable for Screening
Multi-channel designs enable high-throughput screening of compounds, repellents, or attractants across species.
