STAO
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.

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.
Visit Amino Labs at STAO 2026
