Biobanking and Long-term Strain Preservation

From secure storage to future cultivation potential

Our biobanking service is designed for customers who want to secure and maintain valuable seaweed strains
long-term - without the need for continuous cultivation or resource-intensive handling. Whether the goal is to preserve selected strains for future production, safeguard genetic material, or maintain access to specific species, we provide a reliable and contamination-controlled solution.

We preserve vegetative material under carefully controlled, low-activity conditions, minimizing growth while maintaining viability. This reduces operational effort and risk, while ensuring that strains remain stable and ready for reactivation when needed. All storage is carried out in contamination-controlled environments, with regular monitoring to ensure strain integrity over time.

Depending on the strain characteristics and your specific needs, we offer two approaches:

• Low-activity cultivation in controlled systems with reduced light and nutrient availability

• Cold storage with minimal light and no nutrient input

Both methods are optimized to balance stability, viability, and low maintenance.

With our biobanking service, you retain long-term access to your strains in a secure and controlled setup - ready to be reintroduced into cultivation, optimization programs, or scale-up when the time is right.
