Carolina Pond Mixture – Living Freshwater Culture | Diverse Microorganisms For Microscopic Study | Ideal For Biological And Ecological Investigations

I was impressed with the way these were packaged for shipping. The company has bespoke holders for their specimen jars that keep the jars snuggly in place and separated from the other jars. When they arrive, just remove the jars from the box and follow the directions to ensure each specimen has sufficient oxygen.

I liked this sample of pond water. There were Daphnea, hydra, and planetia, string algea, and other alde, visable without a microscope.The food quality for my invertabrates aquarium is excellent. The function is as described.

All Survived TRANSIT

I ordered this for biology class to augment prepared slides in a lab. The assortment of organisms in the jar included green algae like Spirogyra, Volvox, Chlorella, and Cosmarium, and various protozoans like Euglena, Paramecium, Stentor, and rotifers of some kind. There were others I was not able to identify, too. The kids really enjoyed observing them on concave slides under the microscope. Well worth it!

Very professionally packaged. The sample arrived alive and well, and had a wide variety of specimens. I had taken some local samples and did not have near as much luck.

Arrived quickly! And so many living organisms, it's wonderful!

Great culture with algae and protists.Would buy this again
