Once this procedure is completed, close the trap and wait for mosquitoes ! A few days later, it’s time to pick up the mosquitoes ! Scan the QR code again in order to record the current date and bring back only the filter to analyze the mosquitoes sample.

| − | </br> First put the pump into the device. Then insert the detection patches into the four dedicated slots. Each patch may correspond to a different disease, in a <B>customizable way</B>. Clip the “patch-holder” onto the device. Then put the <B>mosquito filter</B> containing the mosquitoes inside the device. After that, crush the mosquitoes with the dedicated cap. Thanks to the <B>hollow design of this cap</B> you can put the lysis solution without opening the filter ! When you pull the pump piston, a network of pipes allows the liquids to flow through the system safely in order to immerse the patch into the lysate solution mixed with the mosquito « juice » . Then you put the washing solution, and pull the pump piston again to wash the patches; as mentioned earlier all the liquids are stored into the gelified material and can easily and safely be thrown away. After this procedure, with the analysis kit in front of you, you can <B>report each color change</B> of patches as well as the <B>symbol corresponding to each disease</B> into the database. In order to avoid fear or panic, each disease is coded by a symbol. After a verification step, the results are submitted and the <B>map is updated almost in real time</B> !</br></br></br> | + | </br> First put the pump into the device.
