Location

Drosophila stocks can be found in the 18C cooler of the Reiter Lab

Maintenance

  • Drosophila stocks are to be "flipped" every 3 weeks

  • After flipping flies into a new vial, throw away the old vial into the red biohazard container
  • Date and label the new vial
  • Place stocks back into the 18C cooler
