Specially Prepared “Real-Life” Combinations
The world is teeming with a wide variety of micro life, making studying samples of pond water complicated especially for the beginning student. To lessen the confusion, Ward's has prepared different culture mixes that reflect protist combinations that occur in the real world, yet eliminates the hundreds of other life-forms found in a collected sample.

Daphnia are a widely studied small crustacean used for a number of physiology studies including the effects of drugs on heartbeat and temperature on metabolism.

Study the Rotifera under your microscope to discover the variety of structures among them. Subculture them in Alfalfa or Hay medium to increase your supply. Species may vary based on availability.

Brachionus sp. Examine these typical marine rotifers for a general study of their structure and feeding habits.The recommended food for marine rotifers is Dunaliella. Culture instructions are included.

Volvox aureus is a species of colonial green algae that forms spherical colonies of cells.

Freshwater. Filamentous. Homothallic strain. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by green plastids and cell walls composed of cellulose.

These bottom-dwelling bivalved crustaceans are found in nearly every aquatic habitat.

Ward's Science is not endorsed by or affliated with FOSS curriculum in any way.

Freshwater. Filamentous. True branching, dimorphic structure. Basic culture solution.

Shipped in a form that provides the best quality specimen. Most are supplied in 16 x 125 mm tubes, 2 oz. jars, or 8 oz. jars..

Freshwater. Unicellular; pennate, with bilateral symmetry. Basic culture solution.

Characterized by shells (tests) made of silica, in two parts.

Mixed genera. Also known as scuds, amphipods are freshwater crustaceans.

Paramecium caudatum is a common protist that inhabits a variety of aquatic ecosystems.

This organism is easily recognized by its trumpet-shape and blue coloration. It is quite large (approx. 2 mm) and is a good option for students that are just starting to look at the microscopic world.
