Laboratory Microalgae Culture for Research- Industrial Plankton

Home // Research

Algae research is critical for advancing nutraceuticals, biofuels, animal feed additives, bioprospecting, bioremediation, and aquaculture, but a breakthrough based on small scale flask cultures often does not scale to industrial production.

Industrial Plankton’s closed photobioreactors (PBRs) are ideal for maintaining biosecurity and reducing labor when scaling beyond flask and carboy cultures.

Challenges For Researchers

Producing enough clean algae for assays, benchmarking, and agency approvals is challenging and labor intensive
Standard culture methods lack the controls required to optimize strains and achieve consistent results
Flask scale findings do not scale reliably to pilot and commercial scales
Larger cultures lack biosecurity, leading to contaminated cultures, poor production, and invalid experimental results

How PBRs Can Help

Improve clarity of results and extend culture lifetime through better biosecurity
Real-time data logging and graphing make it easy to optimize algae production in real-time
Monitor and control photobioreactor cultures from anywhere in the world with remote access
Minimize cleaning labor and increase reliability with the self-cleaning CIP system
Increase biomass production capabilities with minimal floor space
Plug & play algae equipment lets you hit the ground running

What Our Customers Say

“The PBR has been very productive and low maintenance. The cleaning method is superior to any other method I have used over 15 years of culturing…”
