Laboratory Batch Setup
Simplified Strain Selection and Hatchery Operations
The Laboratory Batch Setup is designed for compact, precision-driven seaweed cultivation without the complexity of recirculation systems. This setup is ideal for hatchery activities focused on strain selection, spore induction, gametophyte maintenance, and batch-based experimental trials.
Description
This stand-alone unit offers controlled conditions for early-stage cultivation and research, using isolated vessels for batch processes:
12 bioreactors, each with a 4-liter capacity (total: 48 liters)
Independent batch operation for each reactor – allows for tight control of media composition
Adjustable air flow control ensuring optimal gas exchange with easy adjustments
Light control ensuring optimal light intensity and cycle control
User-friendly design for high-precision data collection, minimal human error, and standardized, time efficient processes
Optional add-ons include:
Custom lighting modules for spectral control
Light isolation via a complete screening of each shelf-blocking contamination of external light
Relevant supplementary options, including a unique pressing unit, starter kits, and cleaning technology
With a simplified plug-and-play design, this setup is fast to install, easy to use, and highly suitable for testing multiple strains or parameters in parallel.

From Sporulation to Controlled and Stable Algae Research
The Laboratory Batch Setup serves as the central platform for controlled biomass cultivation, experimental trials, and protocol development. It integrates naturally with the Incubator Unit, which is used to induce sporulation and supply reproductive material to the batch system at an early stage. This makes the Batch Setup an ideal starting point for establishing stable cultures, optimizing growth conditions, and validating processes before further scaling with ValueFarm Containers and Towers.
