Canadian-made biotechnology tools for your classroom
Amino Labs makes hands-on science kits, books, and classroom resources that help students experience real biotechnology in a safe, engaging, and accessible way.
Picture your classroom with students growing safe bacteria and yeast, practicing lab skills, exploring DNA, making bioplastics, or seeing genetic engineering come to life for the first time.

Join us for a hands-on biotechnology workshop at STAO
We are leading two hands-on sessions at STAO 2026. Join one or both to see how biotechnology can fit into a middle or high school classroom, even without prior experience or a dedicated lab.
Painting with Bacteria
Friday, November 13 • 10:00am - 11:00am
Middle and high school students can explore microbiology through living colour, safe lab habits, and creative classroom agar art.
Testing Crops for GMO Markers
Friday, November 13 • 3:00pm - 4:00pm
A hands-on agricultural biotechnology lab where students use DNA evidence, controls, and interpretation to investigate GMO markers.
Visit our booth
Stop by the exhibit hall to see Canadian-made biotechnology kits, ask about school orders, and talk through what will fit your classroom, timetable, equipment, and budget.
Modern biology, made practical for school classrooms
Amino Labs helps educators bring biotechnology out of the textbook and into students’ hands. Our resources are designed for real classroom conditions, with clear instructions, practical materials, and activities that connect science learning to skills, careers, creativity, and problem-solving.
Hands-on biotechnology
Students can work with DNA, safe microbes, agar art, genetic engineering, bioplastics, gel electrophoresis, and lab techniques.
Made in Canada
Our kits and resources are developed and made by a Canadian biotechnology education company for teachers bringing modern science into their own classrooms.
Built for teachers
We focus on clear instructions, approachable materials, and classroom-ready learning experiences that help teachers feel confident using biotechnology.
Original developer of the classroom Agar Art Kit
Amino Labs created the original classroom Agar Art Kit to help students experience microbiology in a creative, safe, and memorable way. It is one example of how we design biotechnology learning tools that feel approachable, visual, and connected to real lab practices.
Good starting points for STAO educators
These resources are strong starting points for teachers looking to add biotechnology, lab skills, and applied STEAM learning to their programs.
