For companies

Let's discuss biomass and a research pilot for your task

We start with your task and the material you are prepared to purchase. We are assessing needs for biomass for processing and product development. If you only need a ready-made extract or a purified substance, please say so separately: whether such a result is possible requires a separate assessment.

Describe your requirements Discuss a pilot

Demand research areas

Which components and characteristics do you need

  • Fucoxanthin

    We are studying requirements for biomass as a raw material for fucoxanthin. Tell us about the content you need, the form of the material and your processing route.

    Describe your need

  • Phycocyanin

    We are studying requirements for raw material for this blue pigment. Do you need biomass for processing or a ready-made colorant? Tell us the form and conditions of use.

    Describe your task

  • Phycoerythrin

    We are studying requirements for raw material and development of this pigment, including for research purposes. We will clarify the type of material and its analytical characteristics.

    Discuss requirements

  • Another task for biomass

    Let's discuss composition requirements for your formulation or aquaculture process.

    Describe your task

These are demand research areas, not a catalog of finished products. Ready-made extracts and purified substances are not automatically part of the offer. For a specific material, composition, analyses and conditions of use are agreed individually.

The field of application is chosen independently: formulation, extraction, aquaculture, research.

Possible deliverables

What a company may receive at the end of a project

Transfer of technology, live cultures or internal production data is not part of the basic format. These matters are governed by a separate contract and the rights available.

  • An agreed technical specification
  • A description of the verified regime to the extent provided for in the contract
  • An experimental batch, where readiness and legal grounds are in place
  • A passport of the specific batch
  • Protocols of agreed analyses
  • A test results report
  • A conclusion on suitability and the next scale-up step

Stages of a research pilot

More about the stages

How the material is selected

From composition requirements to a confirmed batch

The composition and origin of the selected material are recorded in the documentation. Characteristics are confirmed for a specific batch.

  1. 01

    Composition requirements

    We record the substance or characteristic needed, its content, form and application.

  2. 02

    Selecting biomass

    We identify a suitable material and check the presence of the component, its origin and conditions of use.

  3. 03

    Assessing processing

    We clarify who extracts the component and what output product is required. Biomass, an extract and a purified pigment are not interchangeable.

  4. 04

    Batch confirmation

    Composition, parameters, methods and storage conditions are recorded for a specific batch; a publication about the species does not replace them.

  5. 05

    Scientific basis

    Documented cultures and publications are presented in the Science section; they are not a catalog of ready supplies.

Scientific basis

Customer package

What the package of materials may include

May include

  • Technical specification and test program
  • Samples of the agreed batch and form
  • Batch passport: material identification, number, date, mass, moisture or dry residue, measured parameters, storage conditions
  • Protocols of agreed analyses
  • Final report with a conclusion on the next stage

Not included in the basic package

  • Live seed culture
  • Medium recipe and exact cultivation regimes
  • Production logs, drawings and primary internal data
  • Production cost and internal process economics

Limits of the current stage

An honest account of our readiness

We are currently assessing demand and collecting requirements. We do not accept supply orders and do not promise to provide samples. An experimental batch is prepared only after the technical specification is agreed and the readiness of the process and the legal grounds for working with the specific culture are confirmed.

  • Interest in evaluating a sample expressed in the survey does not create an obligation to provide one
  • Published scientific data are not carried over to a future batch without that batch's own analyses
  • Laboratory, pilot and production scales are labelled separately

Describe your company's requirements

Four steps, about 10 minutes. No registration needed.
