Hydrosphere Research Facilities
Hydrosphere Research’s laboratory and office
facilities are located in the Progress
Corporate Park at 11842 Research Circle, Alachua, Florida, only
minutes away from the University of Florida.
Comprehensive Test Facilities
We have divided our test facilities into separately lighted
and climate-controlled sections to accommodate various test conditions
or requirements. We also maintain an aquaculture facility separate
from the testing labs for a wide range of fresh and saltwater cultures.
We
follow strict procedures for maintaining lab equipment and each
machine or piece of equipment is available in at least duplicate. This helps
us provide our clients quick turnaround time and avoid delays related
to equipment.
Aquaculture and Mariculture
We culture all freshwater and most saltwater organisms required
for routine toxicity testing.
Hydrosphere has also developed innovative aquaculture techniques for the propogation of many species in both the bioassay, tropical fish and mariculture industries.

Hydrosphere Research boasts a highly skilled roster of scientists,
engineers and support staff. In addition, our location near one of
the nation’s leading research centers provides us with easy
