Algae Analytics develops and validates algae cultivation systems, biomass production, sensing, and downstream processes. The work is organized around a developing Algae Foundry: a practical platform for turning biological potential into controlled, measurable, usable systems.
The Foundry is the operational spine of Algae Analytics: cultivation, process validation, biomass, sensing, and downstream experimentation organized as one connected system.
Its purpose is not to make algae look promising. It is to find out what works, what fails, what controls matter, and what is required to move a biological idea toward reliable operation.
Algae Analytics works across the parts of the system that determine whether biological performance survives outside a single experiment.
Culture operation, media strategy, environmental control, photobioreactor workflows, and scale-aware process design.
Experiments that isolate the variables that matter and produce evidence suitable for technical and commercial decisions.
Harvesting, biomass handling, fractionation, and practical evaluation of material headed toward a product or process.
Useful instrumentation and measurement strategies that make biological systems observable, repeatable, and easier to control.
The useful evidence appears when cultivation, resource inputs, measurement, and downstream value are considered together. Current work is creating that evidence across several connected projects.
Using brewery side streams and fermentation CO₂ as controlled inputs to algae cultivation while measuring productivity, stability, and downstream biomass value.
Connecting cultivation strategy to biomass yield, composition, and operating decisions rather than optimizing a single number in isolation.
Following biological material beyond cultivation into extraction, formulation, agriculture, and other product pathways where performance must survive real use.
Algae projects often fail in the gaps between disciplines. The Foundry is designed to keep those gaps visible.
Physiology, strain behavior, and biological constraints.
Media, light, carbon, water, and operating conditions.
Sensors, sampling, analytics, and decision-quality evidence.
Harvesting, handling, composition, and consistency.
Product, agriculture, process integration, or customer outcome.
Design and run focused work that resolves a cultivation, process, or scale-up uncertainty.
Generate controlled cultures, biomass, operating data, or experimental material around a defined need.
Bring cultivation and biological-process capability into a funded project, product program, or technical partnership.
Algae Analytics was founded by Andrew Potter, PhD, a plant and environmental scientist whose work spans algae physiology, cultivation, water, bioprocessing, product development, and applied biological systems.
If you have an algae process, strain, feedstock, product concept, or scale-up question that needs to become measurable, start there.
