Less prep, more science

Take routine media prep off your bench.

Prepared media is especially useful for laboratories that need dependable small batches without interrupting higher-value work.

We prepare it

We handle routine medium preparation and package it in useful laboratory volumes.

You keep it on hand

Stock the media your laboratory uses without tying up time whenever another batch is needed.

Run the experiment

Use the time you would have spent on routine prep for the work that actually requires your attention.

For laboratories

Need media on a regular basis?

If your lab repeatedly orders the same formulation, contact us about larger quantities or recurring orders. We can keep the conversation practical and focused on what you actually use.

Need DESS without making it yourself?

We are adding laboratory-prepared DESS sample preservation solution for researchers who want the preservative on its own for microbiome and environmental sample collection workflows.

Common questions

Prepared media, without the guesswork.

What bottle sizes do you offer?

Our standard prepared-media lineup is being simplified around 250 mL and 500 mL bottles—the sizes customers have consistently ordered.

Why buy prepared media instead of making it in-house?

For many laboratories, the value is time and convenience. Prepared media avoids weighing, mixing, pH adjustment and another routine preparation task when only a few hundred milliliters are needed.

Can I order media regularly or in larger quantities?

Yes—contact us if you repeatedly use the same formulation. We can discuss recurring or larger laboratory orders based on your needs.

What is DESS?

DESS is a sample preservation solution used in microbiome and environmental sampling workflows. We are adding it as a standalone laboratory product for researchers who want to purchase the preservative directly.

Do you still provide microbiome research services?

Yes. Biocracy continues to provide microbial community analysis and specialized research support; those services now sit alongside a storefront focused primarily on practical laboratory products.

Research services

Need more than media?

Biocracy also supports microbiome characterization and specialized microbiology research projects. Our laboratory services remain available without competing with the store's primary focus.
