Schott and Algatech signed an agreement to strengthen their partnership following a successful study. Schott's Duran glass tubes significantly improved cultivation yield efficiency of Algatech's AstaPure. Nikolaos Katsikis of Schott and Raz Rashelbach of Algatech will present their results at the Algae Biomass Summit in San Diego.
Algatech sought to optimize cultivation of AstaPure as part of its goal to double production capacity. Schott partnered with Algatech in 2013 to produce thin-walled Duran glass tubes for testing in Algatech's photobioreactor production systems in Israel.
"Further testing and development of new products in partnership with Algatech will allow us to continue finding new ways and methods to improve algae production," added Nikolaos Katsikis, director, business development at Schott Tubing.
