Schott and Algatech sign R&D agreement following successful joint study

In Germany, Schott and Algatechnologies (Algatech) have signed an R&D agreement to strengthen their partnership following a successful one-year study of new glass tubes at Algatech’s algae production facility. Schott’s thin-walled Duran glass tubes significantly improved cultivation efficiency in the yields of Algatech’s AstaPure natural astaxanthin. Nikolaos Katsikis of Schott and Raz Rashelbach of Algatech will present the study’s full results at the Algae Biomass Summit, Sept. 29-Oct. 2 in San Diego.
