Set of three glass laboratory vials, each with its original cork stopper and a handwritten label indicating inoculation experiments. The labels read "Chicken blood inoculated with Malian tuberculous serum," accompanied by distinct numbering (29, 5, 22). This type of preparation refers to experimental work in bacteriology or immunology from the early 20th century, probably in a research context on tuberculosis. The set forms a homogeneous group, visually very strong and particularly evocative.

A rare and meaningful set, ideal for enriching a scientific collection or a cabinet of curiosities focusing on early experimental medical research. The vials are sold only as collector's items. Their contents and/or residues are preserved for heritage purposes, not analyzed, and strictly unsuitable for any use.
