Aquatic Systems & Equipment for Labs and Industry
Leading Innovation in Aquatic Research
Founded in 2016 as a division of Iwaki America, Iwaki Aquatic was created to empower the aquatic research community with systems that deliver unmatched reliability, performance, and ease of use.
Backed by over 60 years of engineering excellence in designing advanced controllers and pumps for global water treatment, we bring proven technology and trusted craftsmanship to every research system we build.
At Iwaki Aquatic, our mission is simple: to design and deliver high-quality aquatic research systems that work flawlessly—day after day—so you can focus on discovery, not maintenance.
Precision-Engineered Systems for Aquatic Research
Iwaki Aquatic aquaria rack systems are purpose-built for the needs of African Clawed Frogs (Xenopus spp.) and Zebrafish (Danio rerio), ensuring optimal performance and animal well-being. Over the years, our expert team has gone beyond the standard—designing and building custom systems for more than 150 different aquatic species.
From large-scale research facilities to specialized single-tank setups, no project is too big or too small. If it lives in water, we can help you create the perfect environment for it to thrive.
