Collaborative Science Environment
Research instruments for gravitational biology.
We design and build laboratory equipment for simulated microgravity and time-lapse plant science, from a workshop in Madison, Wisconsin. Every part, board and line of software is our own.
Instruments
Built to order, supported for life

SciSpinner Max
Simulated microgravity with independent frame and core axes, an onboard camera, chamber lighting and environment sensors, and a motion sensor module that measures time-averaged gravity at the sample.
Specifications and documents →
SciSpinner Duo
A simpler, smaller clinostat for teaching labs and single-axis experiments, with a clear sample chamber on a single motor-driven axis.
Specifications coming soon
FlashLapse
Research-grade time-lapse imaging for plant growth and classroom experiments: four pod-mounted cameras around a central sample stage.
Specifications coming soon
Built for your experiment
Open-frame clinostats for incubators, custom sample fixtures and instrument variants designed with the lab that will use them.

Who we work with
University and government labs, on two continents
Our clinostats run in university and government laboratories across the United States and at space-research institutes in India, with further deliveries under way. They are used for cell and tissue culture, plant gravitropism, small-organism models and ground controls for spaceflight experiments.
Collaborative Science Environment Inc. is a Wisconsin benefit corporation. Our control software is open source under the GPL, customers receive the CAD for sample fixtures, and every instrument ships with the same documentation our engineers use. About the company →
