Laboratory Setup
Data-Driven Insights to Optimize Seaweed Cultivation Before Scaling
The Laboratory Setup is designed for controlled seaweed cultivation validating hypotheses at small scale. It is ideal for universities, biotech companies, and small-scale producers conducting strain selection or optimizing growth conditions before scaling up.
Description
This modular system enables precise control over key growth parameters and is characterized by:
12 bioreactors, each with a 4-liter capacity (total: 48 liters)
Adjustable water flow control for optimized nutrient and CO2 supply and continuous filtration, with optional direct cooling or heating
Adjustable air flow control ensuring optimal gas exchange with easy adjustments
User-friendly design for high-precision data collection, minimal human error, and standardized, time efficient processes
Optional sensors & IoT integration to monitor parameters such as temperature, pH, flow, salinity, and even real-time biomass growth
Relevant supplementary options, including a unique pressing unit, starter kits, and cleaning technology
With its plug-and-play design, the system is easy to install, operate, and maintain with minimal time investment and low skill requirements.
Your Benefits
This setup provides precise, reproducible conditions, ensuring reliable research outcomes while reducing costs and risks associated with large-scale investments. Aligned with Pure Algae’s core technology, it supports data-driven feasibility studies for commercial scaling. Its rapid implementation enables quick results with minimal effort.
“We were impressed by how quickly the Laboratory Setup was set up and running – it truly is plug-and-play.”
