About Us

Darwin Biological is a British firm based just outside of Shrewsbury, the birth place of its namesake, supplying quality products to secondary schools, colleges and universities across the UK.

Our company was founded on the principal of providing our customers with our team’s extensive knowledge and expertise to always provide the best product or specimen for your lab, if you can't find what you're looking for please ask as we are constantly adding to our range.

We have an extensive range of drosophila, algae, bacteria cultures, preserved specimens, and microscope slides, as well as general science laboratory consumables such as inoculating loops, petri dishes and agar.

As a family company we believe strongly in flexible working that fits around our employees' family commitments, and consequently we close for part of every school holiday: (Orders received during this time will be processed upon our return.)
