    Works really good but some problems

    Posted by Mohammad Maqsood on 4th Feb 2026

    Works really well, but it takes time wait for 3 days for the liquid. I made it and glowed really well so use a one vial of bacteria use with sterile water given and leave one dry so you use both and that's it. It is a really good experience and experiment and recommend it. It is fun.

    Great product

    The delivery was fast considering the fact that I ordered the kit from the other part of the world. The package arrived undamaged, everything is as it is described. Now it is on me, to follow the instructions and I hope it will work.

    I've bought a few things from the Odin so far and it absolutely fueled a new passion I never knew I had, I've been successful at every experiment from the Odin and I've had so much fun!!! Highly recommend!!!

    Worked perfectly

    Posted by Rick Rogers on 11th Oct 2022

    I was surprised how well this kit worked - both the growout of eColi on the petri dish, the transfer to other petri dishes, and the growth in the LB media bottle. Very satisfying to see the glow.

    Did it again

    Another success for me. Freaked out when I saw them glowing after a few days and so did everyone I showed. We learn so much by these kits, thanks guys also for fast delivery.

    Works great

    I allowed mine to grow in the plate for a little over 48hrs until I could see the glowing streaks. After that, I placed it into the bottle with the water and media. Mine continued to glow in the bottle for about 3 days.

    Super easy and awesome experiment

    Kit contains a good quantity of all the materials necessary to grow several batches of bioluminescent microbes. Within 24 hours of my first batch, I had results similar to the pictures! Crazy cool and very easy. Could be a very fun science experiment for youngsters.
