Last for months in a cool dark place 

Avoid sub-culture masters

Survives in transit

High algae quality - 
uni-algal cultures

Common strains 
available from stock  

 

Micro-algae plate cultures
Save having to sub-culture masters in the lab. These petri-dish cultures of the most common aquaculture species will last for over six months in a cool, dark place. They're really easy to reactivate too. 
To culture just add autoclaved culture water to the petri dish to cover the culture, re-cover the disk and provide light for a day. Then use a sterile cotton swab to wipe the cells into your usual culture medium in sterile seawater and culture as you would a normal master culture.

Current plate cultures available are

Nannochloropsis, Isochrysis, Tetraselmis.
 

Please call if you have a regular demand for other species.  

 

Save time, avoid culture loss in transit. Varicon Aqua is able to supply master cultures on plates that last for months in a dark place.
