Igrox - Model MBT & IGROX - Technologies for Microalgae Cultivation
FromIgrox srl
Photosynthetic microrganisms like microalgae are the basis of life on Earth but only a few of the thousands that exist are well known and studied. Igrox technology helps scientists to advance in the field of microalgae cultivation and exploitation for a more sustainable future, reshaping the way in whichsuper food,active pharmaceuticals and newsmart biomaterials are produced.

MBT & IGROX technologies for microalgae cultivation
Igrox is partner of Micro Bio Technology srl for the lighting system of NEMO, the photobioreactor starter kit developed by MBT srl for educational and R&D projects. Photobioreactors are closed systems that allow the cultivation of microalgae under strictly controlled conditions. The monitoring of the ideal growth parameters – temperature, pH, sterility – allows to create customized protocols, regardless of surrounding environmental conditions. NEMO leads to achieve high yields of microalgae. In this way it is possible to reproduce biotechnologically all the desirable growth conditions, including the possibility of carrying out light-dark cycles to benefit from the effect of photoperiods on the algal culture.
Why Microalgae?
Microalgae are versatile microorganisms you can use to extract and produce many molecules for applications in several sectors absorbing CO2 and releasing O2:
