Zartman Lab · High-volume Drosophila research
"The Drosoflippers were a great addition to our workflow and definitely helped streamline fly transfers and stock maintenance. For shorter-term use and active experiments, they were very effective and saved a substantial amount of time during fly passing."
High-throughput laboratory use
Researchers in the Zartman Lab reported that Drosoflipper significantly improved workflow efficiency during routine fly transfers and stock maintenance, particularly for high-volume experiments. They also provided valuable practical feedback regarding long-term storage conditions and compatibility with benzyl benzoate-based mite prevention, helping guide future product improvements.
Laboratory feedback like this continues to guide future improvements to Drosoflipper.

University of Sheffield
SITraN · Division of Neuroscience · Drosophila workflow evaluation
"First impressions are it is very well made and easy to use. I can also see multiple uses for it beyond stock maintenance."
Independent laboratory feedback
Researchers at the University of Sheffield highlighted the importance of integrating Drosoflipper into broader laboratory organisation and labelling systems in large-scale fly facilities. Their evaluation provided valuable insights into workflow optimisation, incubator space management and stock identification challenges in high-throughput Drosophila laboratories.
Long-term laboratory use

Drosophila ageing and lifespan research
"My lab has been using the flippers for more than 10 years now, mainly for lifespan experiments, and they have saved us lifetimes of work! This is a really handy invention that I actively recommend to other fly researchers."
10+ years of use
One of the earliest laboratories to adopt Drosoflipper, the Piper Laboratory has used the system routinely for over a decade in Drosophila lifespan experiments, providing one of the longest continuous records of laboratory use.
Why this matters
Designed for real laboratory workflows
Ageing and lifespan experiments
Useful for laboratories that need to handle many Drosophila vials repeatedly and consistently.
Time-saving workflow
The testimonial highlights one of Drosoflipper’s strongest benefits: saving researchers time during routine vial handling.
Independent user feedback
Feedback from active researchers is more valuable than generic marketing claims.
