Cyanotone is a cyanobacteria-based alternative to conventional peptone and tryptone — fully plant-based, enzyme-free, and proven in professional microbiological applications.
Designed for laboratories that demand both peak performance and genuine sustainability.
Produced from Spirulina platensis — a fast-growing cyanobacterium with exceptional protein content. Fully vegan, zero animal-derived ingredients.
Up to 40% less Cyanotone is required per litre of growth medium compared to conventional peptone, significantly reducing your cost-in-use.
Spirulina fixes CO₂ directly from the atmosphere during cultivation. Cyanotone production delivers a net positive environmental contribution.
Comparable optical characteristics to conventional peptone and tryptone. Suitable for microbiological research, fermentation R&D, and diagnostics.
No enzymes or harsh chemicals used in downstream processing. A fully sustainable, enzyme-free, chemical-free extraction method from source to product.
Available in 500 g and 1 kg packaging. Volume pricing available from 10 kg. Introductory pricing for new customers on their first 50 kg.
