HiMedia PT021 Murashige and Skoog (MS) Basal Medium is a powdered nutrient blend used for plant tissue culture that is notable for including calcium chloride and vitamins but is formulated without sucrose or agar. This "sugar-free" and "agar-free" composition allows researchers to customize the carbon source and gelling agent according to specific experimental requirements.
Composition and Features
The PT021 medium provides all the essential macro- and micronutrients for optimal plant cell, tissue, and organ development.
Customizable: The absence of sucrose allows researchers to precisely control the carbon source and study its effect on plant growth and differentiation. Similarly, the lack of agar means users can choose the appropriate gelling agent (like agar or CleriGel™) and concentration for their desired medium consistency (liquid, semi-solid, or solid).
Key Ingredients: It contains a rich mix of inorganic salts, vitamins, and amino acids, including a high concentration of nitrogen, essential microelements like Boron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Copper, and Zinc, along with vitamins such as Thiamine, Nicotinic acid, Pyridoxine, Inositol, and the amino acid Glycine.
Quality Control: The product is plant tissue culture tested, ensuring its efficacy in promoting healthy callus and shoot growth without structural or toxic deformities when used correctly
