Our TubeDock™ adapters bring multipurpose functionality to the persistent problems of rolling test tubes and connecting them to other products. Made of durable and flexible material, TubeDocks snugly facilitate vinyl tubing + test tube connections.

Choosing a Version

All TubeDocks are compatible with 16mm test tubes.

1/8" (3mm) HoleBest ForTiny ants living in a 'tubs and tubes' setup.

1/4" (6mm) HoleBest ForSmall ants; connectivity with 1/4" OD tubing

3/8" (10mm) HoleBest ForMost ants; connectivity with 3/8" OD tubing

1/2" (12.7mm) HoleBest ForLarge ants; connectivity with 1/2" OD tubing

All TubeDocks may be used inside foraging areas to reduce tube openings.

Elevated Stabilizer

The flat bottom keeps test tubes from rolling, ensuring the safety of your queens and colonies. A slight angle helps to prevent flood risk, giving your ants higher ground in case of temperature swings. Perfect for tubes in drawers, along heating cables, and within Foraging Areas.

Fit for Foraging Areas

Use a TubeDock to provide ants with a smaller nest entrance. Reduces humidity loss and increases security within the living environment of a "tubs and tubes" setup.

Connect to Formicaria

TubeDocks are compatible with all TJL nests and foraging areas using flexible TJL vinyl tubing.
