Niles Biological

More than just a Biological Supply Company

We hope to inspire many generations of students by providing a useful source of information, mixing tasteful presentations with vibrant imagery.

Every product page doubles as a searchable mini-encyclopedia so teachers can let students browse, discover, and learn while they shop for specimens.

We have gone the extra step of including information about the many specimens we provide that will compliment and augment the study experience.

We provide your students with a "searchable mini-encyclopedia" built right into the presentation of our products so teachers can introduce students to discovering all of the information available.

  • 30+ years serving classrooms, labs, and field programs with curated biology supplies.
  • Information-rich catalog entries that complement and augment each lesson plan.
  • Friendly support - call 916-386-2665 if you need help planning the next lab.
