Latshaw Micro Instrument ($785.00 plus shipping) I am excited to introduce the all new Latshaw Micro Instrumental Insemination Apparatus ($785.00US plus shipping) When designing Latshaw Micro Instrument, my objectives were to develop a simple to use, economical instrument with a large capacity syringe capable of homogenizing honey bee semen. This innovative instrument met my objectives and features several technological advancements designed with the Microbreeder in mind.
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Albert Einstein - The Latshaw Micro utilizes the flexible (forceps) insemination technique. The flexible insemination technique was shown to be 18% more efficient and easier to learn by Drs. Harry Laidlaw and Tilly Kuhnert (1994).

- The Latshaw Micro Instrument utilizes a completely new syringe design. The newly designed Latshaw Micro Syringe is a large capacity syringe that homogenizes the honey bee semen inside the syringe. This syringe is the first of its kind to offer breeders a feasible option for homogenizing honey bee semen in an effort to enhance and conserve genetic diversity within honey bee populations. In addition, the Latshaw Micro Syringe can be used to store and ship tubes of semen.
The series of photographs to the illustrate the semen mixing/homogenization
process. After honey bee semen was collected using the Latshaw Micro
Syringe, one microliter of dye was then drawn into the syringe. Within
9.5 hours, the semen was well mixed. In addition to providing a
feasible method for Microbreeders to utilize homogenized semen in their
breeding programs, Microbreeders can also ship and receive semen. The
Latshaw Micro Syringe is designed to accept 100 microliter capillary tubes.
Simply remove the glass tip to either fill a capilary tube for shipping or
to draw a capillary tube of shipped honey bee semen into the syringe for
use. This completely new and innovative syringe offers many advantages
to the Microbreeder.
- Also supplied with Latshaw Micro Instrument: o The Latshaw Micro Syringe (including 2 glass insemination tips) o Pair of fine forceps o Protective Carrying Case o Electronic users manual with detailed instructions and color photos.
The elegant design of the Latshaw Micro Instrument greatly reduces the cost of the instrument. The price of the Latshaw Micro Instrument is $785.00US plus $20.00 Shipping and Handling to anywhere in the continental US. For international shipments, please inquire about a shipping quote.
