"Boreal Laboratories"

Grass frogs are low maintenance and seasonally available, typically from September to July.

The set Includes cultures of wild, white, brown, dumpy, vestigial, vestigial brown and sepia.

We fully guarantee the purity and viability of our Drosophila melanogaster cultures. A large, vigorous culture is shipped in a shatterproof plastic vial. To ship Drosophila cultures with living larvae we require 10 days' notice prior to use date. During very cold weather, adult flies may die but eggs and larvae usually survive. Allow cultures to come to room temperature before checking under low magnification for eggs and live larvae. Complete instructions are always included.

Erpobdella obscura

Demonstrate amoeba structure, locomotion, and feeding behavior.

Four to six adults of each sex (including virgin females) have been carefully selected for the parent generation. Larvae will be visible within a week of receipt. Please order 7-10 days in advance.

The nocturnal hermit crab uses “borrowed” shells to protect its relatively soft body, changing shells as it grows larger.

Often mistaken for beetles, these wingless crustaceans live their whole lives on land, feeding on decaying organic matter.

Includes one 30 student unit of Volvox and a Form and Structure copymaster.

Live Cultures are supplied with media in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars. Fast delivery is available directly from our laboratory. Please specify a delivery date.

Each culture shipment is prepared in our laboratories and includes the "Working with Algae & Cyanobacteria" manual which contains detailed instructions for subculturing and use.

Canadian Customers:
CFIA and PHAC regulations require customers to submit a completed inspection checklist and signed statement of facilities compliance before receiving certain cultures. A customer service representative will contact you if documentation is required.

Our cultures undergo strict biochemical screening and are unconditionally guaranteed for species and purity. Each culture is labeled with scientific name, media on which it was cultivated and optimum growth temperature. Although our cultures are considered non-pathogenic, standard bacteriological laboratory procedures should be used at all times. Cultures are available either live for immediate use or freeze-dried for convenient storage until needed. (Please note: We are not responsible for any infection resulting from the use of our cultures.)

Bullfrog tadpoles are great for demonstrating metamorphosis in the classroom.

Vanessa cardui Butterflies form chrysalides and transform into colorful butterflies right before your eyes.

This toad thrives with minimum attention and may be housed in a terrarium with access to water and dry land.

Characterized by a lack of rigid cellulosic walls, instead these organisms have pellicles made of protein. They store paramylon instead of starch.

This large predatory frog will eat any other organism smaller than itself, including smaller bullfrogs; keep similar-sized frogs together to avoid cannibalism.
