Very simple to use and longer shelf life than other equivalents due to two separate vials that are mixed when required. Our Algae is growing nicely so seems to be working well.
The algae arrived promptly and in good condition, so very happy with the service.
Arrived swiftly and in good condition. Will definitely buy again.
Just what I needed to deliver a heart dissection demo to a group of GCSE students. Well preserved and a good size. Arrived very well packaged and very quickly. Will definitely be ordering again!
Pooter was fine arrived very quickly being used by my daughter who’s an environmentalist to remove insects from her home and also to study unusual ones however we did find the postage very high but I suppose you were used to sending in larger quantities to educational establishments
The pellets were well packaged and arrived very quickly.
During dissection we found a large quantity of bones from lots of different animals and students really enjoyed matching them to our guide leaflets.
A great practical and would very much recommend.
Two items ordered, they came ultra fast and both are perfect, exactly what I was looking for and very reasonably priced.
Excellent product. Loads of bones in these pellets. Really easy for children to dissect. Fantastic for my Science lessons
Arrived frozen and with plenty of warning so we could catch the post before it disappeared into the internal system.
A good selection of reasonably sized fish heads, I was sceptical with a weight rather than head count in the description. We will definitely buy again.
Order arrived very quickly, the next day, in fact. Plenty of Drosopila in culture and have now split them. Have them as food source for newly hatched day geckos.
Always prompt with delivery and they have always been in stock. Well packaged quality products and an easy order process.
Ordered several preserved specimens (sheep brain, heart, eyes and a squid) that all arrived quickly. Specimens are high quality and will be great resources for my class. I will definitely be back when I need more biological supplies.
"Thank you for sending out our order so promptly and so well packaged (all sustainable, which was very nice to see). We were very pleased with our order and have already dissected our way through a significant proportion, so will be looking to re-order a similar quantity at a similar time next year."– Lucy B
"Efficient delivery and great product. Product was ordered on a Thursday and with me by the following Tuesday morning. Worked well for the A-Level antimicrobial resistance practical. Would definitely recommend to others for this practical."– Oliver
