Fly Food Core

The Fly Food Core provides Yellow and Brown (German) Drosophila fly food to the labs at the Vollum Institute, as well as other researchers on and off the OHSU campus. The two types of food are available in a few preset size options.

  • Yellow food is available in narrow vials.
  • Brown food is available in wide vials and bottles.

Bottles and both sizes of vials are packaged on plastic wrapped trays. Bottle trays are 25-count and vial trays are 100-count.

The Fly Food Core is located on the fourth floor of the Vollum Institute, room 4410.
