Algae in the ocean fixes more carbon dioxide than all the plants on the land.

Everything We Sell and Do

Algae Research and Supply

Everything We Sell and Do

Live algae, the gear to grow it, the lessons to teach it, and the research behind all of it. Five doors. Pick the one that sounds like you.

01 Start here if you want to grow it

Algae Culturing

This is how you culture algae. Start with the how-to, then get what you need. Live cultures of more than a dozen strains, culturing kits built around a single species, and the consumables that keep them alive: media, salts and glassware. Reef and aquarium keepers, your feed cultures and zooplankton live in here too.

02 Start here if you want to scale it

Industrial Algae Production

Dream big. Drop-in photobioreactors, submersible industrial lighting, harvesting screens and the hardware to run algae at volume. If you are going from a flask on a shelf to a system that actually produces, this is your door.

03 Start here if you need something built

Custom Products and Consulting

We build kits to order. Colleges, universities and programs bring us a course, a protocol or a problem, and we put together exactly what it needs. Time with our Chief Scientist is available by the half hour.

Education

Living science shipped to your door. Classroom kits that work on a Tuesday morning, backed by a free library of lesson plans, slide decks and student guides. Our two best known programs, Brainy Brinys and Algae Beads, each come with a full set of free lessons.

05 What we are working on right now

Current Projects

We are not just a catalog. We run real research, and what we learn goes straight back into the kits we sell. Bioprospecting curriculum for high schools, containment boom work at the Salton Sea, algae bead manufacturing built in our own lab, and twenty five years of Porphyridium culture behind all of it.
