PLANT TISSUE CULTURE

Plant Preservative Mixture (PPM™)

Broad-spectrum biocide designed to help control microbial contamination in plant tissue culture.

CAT# 0644-1000 PPM 1 L Dry Ice: No Hazardous: No

Product Overview

Plant Preservative Mixture (PPM™) is a broad-spectrum biocide formulated for plant tissue culture applications. It is designed to help manage microbial contamination originating from airborne, waterborne, and endogenous sources.

When combined with appropriate aseptic laboratory practices, PPM™ can help support successful plant tissue culture experiments by reducing microbial contamination and helping maintain suitable culture conditions.

Application Focus
PPM™ is intended for use in plant tissue culture, including applications involving in vitro seed germination, callus proliferation, callus regeneration, organogenesis and embryogenesis.

Applications

Airborne Contamination

Helps control microbial contamination introduced from airborne sources during tissue culture workflows.

Waterborne Contamination

Supports management of microorganisms that may be introduced through water and laboratory materials.

Endogenous Contamination

Can be incorporated into tissue culture workflows intended to reduce endogenous microbial contamination.

Culture Support

Used in tissue culture applications involving seed germination, callus proliferation and regeneration.
