Orr Biologicals / Algae

Two scales.
One living world.

Algae are a study in scale. A culture is a changing environment; a single cell is a changing individual. We develop tools to observe both without confusing one for the other.

Research approach Read the Journal
Illustrative algae cultures in glass vessels for the Algaephyte cultivation concept.

01 / Cultivation

Algaephyte

Sensors, cameras and growth models for understanding a culture as its conditions change. A proposed instrument with bounded control, not a deployed reactor.

Research concept
 Illustrative microfluidic chip with small liquid channels for the Cyanoflow single-cell concept.

02 / Single cells

Cyanoflow

Microfluidic separation, imaging and tracking for investigating variation between individual cells. A research design, not validated hardware performance.

Research concept

Both projects are in development. Images on this page are illustrative scenes, not microscope observations or measured telemetry. The existing Digital Lab at /Simulation/ is a separate interactive workspace; the field guide at /algae-growth/ is an educational visualization. No product is currently offered for sale.
