These organisms help keep your freshwater aquarium clean by eating algae and detritus; they won’t eat any plants included in the aquarium.

The premixed ready-to-use solution contains Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, and magnesium chloride at optimal concentrations for efficient amplification of DNA templates by PCR. Enough for 100 reactions (2.5 mL).

Pre-mixed, and ready to use, this master mix contains DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl₂, and reaction buffers at optimal concentrations for the amplification of DNA via PCR. Its special formulation allows for direct loading of PCR samples into agarose gels as well as tracking the migration during electrophoresis without the need for loading dyes. Simply add template, primers, and nuclease-free water, available separately. Mater Mix reduces risk of contamination. Includes enough for 100 reactions. Note: Can be stored at 4 °C for up to six weeks, or −20 °C for longer.

These fascinating frogs are uniquely adapted for climbing, with prominent adhesive pads on the ends of their digits.

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

This spore-forming, thermophilic organism is commonly used for germicidal and sporicidal testing due to its ability to withstand higher-than-normal temperatures.

Cellular slime mold. Demonstrates amoeboid state, pseudoplasmodial state, and fruiting body, or sorocarp.

Paramecium bursaria is a ciliate that contains mutualistic algae called Zoochlorella. The algae lives in the cytoplasma of the Paramecium and provides it with food. Paramecium bursaria grows in Dilute Alfalfa Medium (Hay Medium) or Soil Water Medium. Requires light for growth.

Paramecium aurelia is the smallest species of Paramecium we offer. Paramecium aurelia is characterized by cilia, which it uses for locomotion and feeing. Contains a macronucleus and two micronuclei. Grows in Dilute Alfalfa Medium (Hay Medium).

A collection of some of the more popular forms of coliphage. The successful culture of coliphage requires growing in the appropriate host bacterium (available separately)
