    Application

    Phytagel is intended for use in place of agar and other gelling agent for plant tissue culture. Phytagel has been shown to be a superior substitute for tissue-culture-grade agar in the micropropagation of banana plantlets.

    Phytagel has been used:
    • in the solidification of culture medium for root assays in Arabidopsis thaliana[1]
    • as a component of Solid Paul′s medium for Agrobacterium culture[2]
    • as a component of root induction medium in Ilex dumosa tissue culture[3]

    Packaging

    1, 5 kg in poly drum

    100, 250, 500 g in poly bottle

    Other Notes

    An agar substitute produced from a bacterial fermentation composed of glucuronic acid, rhamnose and glucose. It produces a clear, colorless, high strength gel which aids in detection of microbial contamination.

    Reconstitution

    To prevent clumping, add slowly to rapidly stirring medium prior to heating.
