Cephalopod Ink

Cephalopod Ink

1 total reviews

    Almost all cephalopods- the tentacled class of marine mollusks that include the octopus, squid, and cuttlefish- have the ability to eject dark ink from their body as a method of escaping predators. The melanin-based ink is stored in an ink sac until it is released to create a dark cloud in the water, giving the cephalopod time to flee from danger.

    Cephalopod ink is mainly used in cooking to create dark-colored foods or as medium for painting. This sample however has not been preserved for consumption. Please do not eat. 

    Vial contains approximately 5mL of ink.

      WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

      You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

      We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

      With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

      Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
