Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture for Six Algae Strains for Classroom Investigations

$ 27.50

Algae Research Supply: Algae Culture Kit for Arthrospira platensis (spirulina)

$ 15.95 $ 32.99

Algae Culture Kit for Microalgae. We have perfected the method and supplies for anyone to grow an ecologically or industrially important strain of algae. It contains everything you need to grow a laboratory-grade culture at home or at your desk! It includes the following: (1) Instructions: information about the strain of algae, illustrated growing protocol, culture care lessons, lifecycle background of batch-culture cycles. (2) Culture flask: tissue culture flask (50 ml volume) with a breathable cap. (3) Culture inoculum: 1ml in a dense culture in a 1.5ml micro-centrifuge tube. (4) Nutrient Fertilizer: our nutrients are a modification of the media formula called f/2 (Guillard and Ryther 1962, Guillard 1975). It uses NaNO3 (sodium nitrate) and NaPO4 (sodium phosphate) as the nitrogen and phosphorus sources. (5) Culturing Salts: Add salts to a 500ml bottle of drinking water (water not included in the kit). Different strains of algae have a preference for their water quality. We have perfected the recipe and include a small bag of salt to make 500ml (1/2 liter) of media. The salts provide a needed carbon source as well as slow the growth of competitive algae strains (weeds). Great for science fair projects!

Algae Research Supply: Algae Research Kit: Culture and Supplies for a Science Project

$ 23.95

This is kit designed to give the student the tools to do a science project. It includes

1. Starter culture, 50ml concentrated algae (Nannochloropsis)
2. Culture Tubes, self standing, 50mL  x8 
3. Salts, (sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and trace metal containing sodium chloride) four packs that make 500mL each
4. Instructions for cultivation
5. Pipetter, polypropylene, graduated with 3ml capacity.

This kit is good for two groups where an n=4 is used: one treatment and one control.  Lots of folks use this for science fair projects.   Sometimes they also get some extra culture Nannochloropsis) if they are short on time and want to explore different ways to KILL algae.  This is a good kit to start out with if you are curious about algae experiments.
