⚫ Black Agar for Maximum Contrast
Adding the included black dye to your agar creates a high-contrast background, making the slime mold much easier to observe.
The dark surface highlights colony growth, vein network development, and movement, making it ideal for photography and time-lapse recordings.
Simply add a few drops of the dye to boiling agar, mix thoroughly, and pour it into the maze or arena.
🔗 Modular System
All mazes and arenas can be connected using silicone tubing, allowing you to create larger networks, tunnels, and more advanced experimental setups.
The included airtight plugs let you close unused ports and maintain complete control over the slime mold's movement.
