HydroPlug Watering Plugs 15 mm, 10 pcs.
The HydroPlug Watering Plugs are made from high-quality, fine-pored foam and are ideal as a water reservoir for ant test tubes, tubing, and other round openings. They have proven to be a durable alternative to cotton and allow you to create a reliable water reservoir in test tubes quickly and easily.
When dry, HydroPlugs are firm and dimensionally stable. Upon contact with water, they absorb a large amount of moisture, become more flexible, and gradually release the stored water over an extended period. This makes them ideal for providing a continuous water supply in ant test tube nests.
Unlike cotton, HydroPlug features a smooth surface on which surface mold is much less likely to develop. This helps keep test tube nests more hygienic and reduces maintenance.
