Search the library

Find the strain. Study it under glass.

Search by strain, species, breeder or cross, or start from a shelf. Every result is a studied isolate or a documented cross, prepared under sterile protocol.

The shelves

Pick a species to start.

The library is indexed the way a taxonomist would file it: by species, then by isolation status and the breeder behind each line.

How it reaches your bench

Four steps, every batch.

No jargon and no mystery. The same protocol for every line in the library.

01

Catalogued

Each line is logged under its own species, breeder and lineage, with the parent-by-parent record for crosses.

02

Prepared sterile

Worked in a still-air or flow environment so what reaches your slide is the specimen, not the room.

03

LOT-logged

Every batch carries a LOT reference, traceable from the bench to the parcel on your doorstep.

04

Dispatched discreetly

Packed as a microscopy kit with glass slides, in a plain unbranded parcel.

The geneticists

Credited, never rebranded.

Every strain keeps the name of the people who bred, isolated or found it. Pick a crest to see their lines.
