Any further questions?

You’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions in our FAQ section. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly – we’ll be happy to help.

  • Why don’t the planaria crawl into the trap?

    Planaria are choosy eaters. It’s best to find out what their favourite food is and use this food as bait for the trap. We have found NovoTab and PlanktonPur give very satisfying results.

  • Why shouldn’t the trap be placed flat on the substrate?

    At the entrance of the trap there is a thin tube. The entrance needs to have contact with the floor so that the planaria, coming from the substrate, can reach the bait in the trap. For this purpose you can use the enclosed suction pad alone or together with the cord. If the small tube is aligned in a 45° angle to the flour, like a small ramp, the flatworms are easily able to reach the trap. Another possibility is, to dig in the trap, so that the thin tube just can reach the floor.

  • Is the trap also suitable for bristle worms?

    No, because the bristle worms are much thicker than the thin tube and can’t contract enough.

    War diese Antwort hilfreich?
  • Does the trap need to be filled with water?

    Yes, before you close the trap with the white lid, it needs to be completely filled with water so that it can sink and the food can attract the planaria.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event outside the context of a website, such as a new blog post, a competition or a voucher.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
