Incubator Unit
– Single Photobioreactor (PBR)
Compact, Plug-and-Play Cultivation for Experiments, Demonstration & Outreach
This standalone PBR is the most accessible and cost-effective entry point into land-based seaweed cultivation and hatchery activities. Delivered plug-and-play with integrated lighting and circulation, it is ideal for single-strain testing, spore induction, and public engagement activities.
Description
The Single PBR is designed for simplicity and versatility in experimental settings:
Central light module housed in a cooling grid for stable and uniform light distribution
Optimized circulation: Built-in aeration ensures natural mixing for uniform growth conditions
Optional combined power and control: One plug and one switch operate both light and pump
No setup required: Delivered pre-assembled for instant use
This unit has also been successfully used as a mini-incubator for spore induction and gametophyte development, and as a mobile demonstration system for conferences and outreach.
Available as a standalone unit but when increasing unit numbers, we instead recommend our Laboratory Batch Setup.
