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
