Welcome to the newest technology for introducing plant cuttings into tissue culture! The Microclone Starter Kit - 36 is a 3-week short cut to tissue culture clean, healthy tissue clones.
The Microclone Liquid Culture Introduction kit gives growers the benefits of agar gel tissue culture with a faster, easier tube-growth system and direct to plug planting. In tissue culture terms it would be called a Stage 1 direct to Stage 4 system and works for growers who raise and prune their own vegetative plants. It provides the most important benefits sought by growers, the elimination of mother plants and breaking the associated disease cycles. In only a few short weeks in the liquid medium, small apical cuttings increase in mass, add nodes, and reveal.
The Microclone Tissue Culture Liquid Starter Kit contains prepared Microclone liquid media, tools, and instructions to put your first plants into tissue culture cloning. With only a few additional items and a lab space you will soon be creating your future microclones.
The secret to plant tissue culture is using sugar as an energy source, instead of bright light. The tiny cuttings absorb sugar, nutrients, and hormones directly through their surface. The plants grow in the self-contained environment while hormones in the media encourage branching and new plant production. The vessels keep the plants small, saving time, light, and money. Preservatives have been added to the medium to reduce the possibility of mold. The new branches and nodes are the foundation of the Microclone grow room and sources of thousands of cuttings.
