A walk down the corridor at the London School of Hygiene takes us to the source of these embryos. It’s more like an aquarium than a lab, with hundreds of small tanks full of adult zebrafish. But a closer look shows this is no tourist attraction. Tanks labelled with terms such as “CD41 + GFP”, show how each group of fish has undergone gene editing to allow the study of different biological responses to infection.

MBKI is recognised as the leading Aquatic Research Habitat manufacture and supplier in the UK. The key to our success is the ability to provide quality systems that produce and maintain perfect sustainable water, critical to animal health and research integrity. With over 17 years experience in design, fabrication and installation of Zebra-fish habitats worldwide, MBKI is second to none.

Our Rack Systems are made with stainless steel tubular supports. All the water delivery and drainage systems are easily removable, making maintenance and cleaning a simple procedure. Water flow is carefully monitored and metered by individual valves allowing different flow rates to separate tanks.
