Quality Assured Feed and Seedstock: Your Outsourcing Solution 

Kuehnle AgroSystems, Inc. (KAS) offers high value algae seedstock and we perform follow-on strain optimization for specific production facilities and desired end applications. Our bulk live algae are quality-controlled and go through a rigorous internal certification process (see below).

Specifications

  • Up to 10,000x concentrated over "green water" allows easy direct seeding of tanks and ponds for hatcheries and algae biomass farming.

  • Certified algae seedstock as an outsourced product allows the algae farmer to focus on biomass production, increasing end product reliability and performance.

  • Eliminates challenging and costly inoculum production steps.

  • Sold in easy to manage unit packaging of 1L, 2L, 3L and 20L volumes.

  • Certain genotypes are available preserved alive for extended shelf storage. 

  • KAS has numerous proprietary cultivars. For instance, a sampling of cultivars high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) includes Isochrysis, Monochrysis, Pavlova, Chaetoceros, Thalassiosira, Phaeodactylum, Nitzschia, Cyclotella, Amphora, Pinguiococcus, Nannochloropsis, and Tetraselmis.

KAS Live Algae Quality Control and Certification

Production of AlgaeFeed™, AlgaeSeed™ and Elite Algae™ 

The production of our trademarked foundation feed and seedstock involves the maintenance of axenic, unialgal tissue culture stock algae at the Kuehnle AgroSystems Culture Laboratory. Algae strains are maintained under cryopreservation or ambient proprietary “hibernation” and on solidified medium with frequent renewal.  
 
Popular strains are often already available in liquid medium.   
Bulk algae, through subsequent grow-out generations, become foundation seedstock sold to customers.
