Abstract
Apparatus and method for the extraction of material from glands of arthropods. The apparatus includes a container in which at least part of the glands are placed and a buffer solution at least partially immersing the glands. Gland material is collected in the material collection area of the container, e.g., by release of the material from the glands into the buffer solution and sedimentation of the material at the bottom of the container. The method involves removing from a body of the arthropod the gland containing at least partially the material, making an opening in an epithelium of the gland, and placing the gland in the container at least partially immersed in a buffer solution, so that the material exits the glands and sediments in the material collection area of the container.
