Excellent company and service,highly recommend
My single tube of Drosophila medium arrived perfectly packed and in excellent condition. It is now in the fridge while my previously purchased tube of fruit flies are hopefully in the process of producing future residents for it.
Arrived in good time and were amazing quality!
Very simple to use and longer shelf life than other equivalents due to two separate vials that are mixed when required. Our Algae is growing nicely so seems to be working well.
The algae arrived promptly and in good condition, so very happy with the service.
Arrived swiftly and in good condition. Will definitely buy again.

Pooter was fine arrived very quickly being used by my daughter who’s an environmentalist to remove insects from her home and also to study unusual ones however we did find the postage very high but I suppose you were used to sending in larger quantities to educational establishments
