We provide strong technical support using various biological testing and molecular analysis techniques.
We support research and product development using biofouling organisms for the active evaluation of new antifouling paints, new materials, and new compounds. We have a wide variety of organisms available, including barnacles, green algae, hydra, purple clams, and marine bacteria. Please feel free to contact us if you have any requests. 【In such cases】 ■ I want to know efficient countermeasures against new types of fouling organisms. ■ I want to understand whether the current antifouling paints and chemical concentrations are appropriate. ■ I want to quickly know the effects of new antifouling paints, chemicals, and materials on barnacles, clams, hydra, etc. ■ I want to investigate the extent of the impact of new chemicals and materials on the growth and occurrence of useful aquatic organisms. ■ I want to examine what kind of physiological activity the obtained compounds have at the individual, cellular, and molecular levels. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Case Studies】 ■ Test using the larva of the sea anemone, Actinia - We evaluate the antifouling performance of the samples entrusted to us using the larvae of organisms that are actually subject to fouling. ■ Test using microorganisms in natural seawater: Nucleic acid staining (DAPI) - We observe the suppression of growth and adhesion on the microbial samples (substrates). ■ Test using green algae: Spore adhesion and growth conditions - We conduct significance testing (multiple comparisons) to evaluate activity (such as adhesion suppression). ■ Physiological activity test using barnacle cyprids - This test uses the position changes of luminescent areas due to the self-fluorescent substances in barnacles as an indicator to assess tissue and cell damage. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
