Great loops!

Nice sterile loops, for me much easier than having to flame/heat the same loop dozens of times.

Nice dishes

Excellent Petri Dishes, triple vented, good quality.

Malt Extract Agar
Lee Oatley
Good quality Agar.

Very good quality Agar, will buy again.

Great service

The order arrived well packaged and in a timely manner and as described - as always with Darwin Biological. Thank-you - note: It would be good however to see the packaging materials considered, so no polystyrene chips used and another form of more sustainable packing material used instead perhaps, please.

Hi Duncan, Thank you for your thoughts and I'm glad you're happy with your order. All polystyrene chips are resused from deliveries we receive; we are however attempting to pursuade the manufacturer in question to swap to a more eco alternative. Many thanks, Meg

Frozen Sheep Kidney

Review

Used for an anatomy lesson, great resource that the students loved. Could be improved by leaving the ureter, artery and Vein attached.

Upon received them, we realised that there are some water condensing on some plates. Is it normal?

Hi Emmanuel, Some condensation is perfectly normal, ensure you store and incubate with the agar at the top to avoid any drips onto your bacteria. Kind regards, Meg

Excellent and fast delivery

Great product. Did the job 100%

Great for teaching simple measurements under the microscope

Good for low power use (x40) to demonstrate how to measure for an estimate of cell size. Not good at a higher power magnification as the imprint of the scale and numbers cannot be seen.

Prompt delivery and well packaged

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.

Preserved Locusts

Preserved locusts

I ordered 100 preserved locusts which came in five jars (each containing 20 locusts). Unfortunately, two of the jars had cracked lids and the preserving fluid had leaked out from one jar. The damage occurred in transit as the package came with an apology note from Royal Mail (with instructions on claiming for damages). The locusts were of good quality and none were damaged on inspection.
I only mention this as it might be necessary to add more cushioning around individual jars to avoid knocking together...?

E.Coli K12 Strain

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.

Great Specimens.

The rats were very clean and undamaged. Great Quality. Many thanks also for super customer service and quick delivery.

Micro baby fish food!

I bought a culture to start my own at home, as I am breeding very tiny fish that have even tinier babies! I can’t speak to my colony as it’s only been a week, but the container I received was very well packaged, delivered fast and was teeming with these little guys.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻.
Dan.
