Plant Culture Media
Dry powder premixes for usage in solid or liquid plant tissue culture techniques. Such dehydrated formulations provide an ecological optimum due to the low shipping weight, a fast and easy medium preparation by dissolving in water- without the necessity of several stock solutions.
Overview of available standard premixes within this category:
- Basic Salt Premixes
- Contains micro- and / or macroelements which are the inorganic part of the media (whereas microelements can be provided in chelated form using organic complexing agents)
- typically used in addition with individual organic supplements like vitamin premixes
- allows flexibility in the concentration of inorganic elements, which can support adjustment to the optimal level
-
does not contain sucrose or gelling agent
- Basic Medium Premixes
- contains Micro- and Macroelements
- contains partially or full required organics (e.g. vitamins, plant growth regulators)
- typically used for liquid culture techniques in bioreactors
- solid media can be obtained by addition of gelling agent
-
does not contain sucrose or gelling agent
- Medium premix with gelling agent / sucrose
- only for solid media
- lower flexibility but faster medium preparation
- higher dosage value minimizes weighing error due to scale without sufficient precision, typically used by beginners
