Eccentric Beekeeper Sampling Syringe and Purging Wand

The Eccentric Beekeeper Sampling Syringe and CO₂ Purging Wand are two simple devices for sampling/purging through a 3 piece airlock and for purging any sort of vessel, including those with a small opening, with the goal of minimizing oxygen exposure. These were discussed on Milk The Funk "The Podcast" Wiki Kwiki Episode #003.

CO₂ Purging Wand

The CO₂ Purging Wand can be hooked up to Cornelius type gas ball lock connector. The stainless steel tubing is available on Amazon. The drive regulator is optional for allowing a very precise flow rate of gas.
