Algae Growth Medium 10ml (UN) - Concentrated Freshwater Algal Culture Medium (Code 80478)

The Algae Growth Medium 10ml (UN) is a highly concentrated, professionally formulated nutrient solution designed for the cultivation of freshwater algae. It provides a complete growth environment containing essential nutrients, trace elements, and vitamins required for healthy and sustained algal growth.

Manufactured by Varicon Aqua, a specialist supplier to commercial aquaculture and fisheries industries, this medium is based on an enriched freshwater formulation originally optimised for Haematococcus pluvialis, but it is also suitable for a wide range of other freshwater algal species.

When diluted to the correct concentration, the medium supports optimal algal growth. For advanced applications such as tubular reactors requiring higher algal densities, it can be used at 2-5 times the standard concentration.

For best results, the product should be stored in a cool, dark place or refrigerated, giving it a shelf life of approximately 6 months.
