"Without the controllable and quantifiable delivery of light, a labscale photobioreactor is an expensive waste of lab space."

That's where we started - getting the light right. That's the core technology of our Algem® family of precision labscale photobioreactors. If you get the physics and the electronic control and quantifiable aspects of light delivery right, the rest is straight-forward in terms of creating a reproducible growth environment suitable for growing algae.

One common ability unites algae as a biodiverse group of organisms - their capacity to capture and use light energy, in the form of photons, to break apart water molecules, using the energy to build sugars — all while releasing oxygen.

A photobioreactor delivers light to a defined vessel within which an organism can be grown. A labscale photobioreactor typically delivers light to a defined vessel, which might accommodate volumes of liquid in the 5ml to 10L range, to promote the growth of an alga or photosynthetic bacteria contained within the vessel.

After getting the light right, supporting our instrument family with intuitive and flexible software that allows the end-user the ability to create an almost unlimited number of growth profiles and experimental scenarios is the next game-changing feature that runs through the Algem family of products.

Finally, designing the whole concept around a simple Erlenmeyer flask, to increase the familiarity and ease of use, completes the Algem concept.

Algem® - developed, designed and delivered through a unique collaboration between biologists, physicists, electronic design and software engineers - with one goal in mind - to support and drive high quality, reproducible algae R&D to underpin and catalyse a diverse sector.
