Comprehensive Tissue Culture Lab Services

1. Laboratory Design and Setup

Establishing a tissue culture lab requires careful planning and precision. Our team will:

• Design the Lab Layout: Create a customized layout to optimize workflows and ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Source and Install Equipment: Procure and set up essential equipment, such as laminar flow hoods, autoclaves, microscopes, and growth chambers.
• Commission the Lab: Ensure the facility is fully operational, sterile, and ready to initiate tissue culture processes.

2. Technician Training

A successful tissue culture lab depends on skilled technicians. We provide:

• Hands-On Training: Practical guidance in handling equipment, maintaining sterility, and managing cultures.
• Protocol Education: Step-by-step instruction on tissue preparation, culture media preparation, and plantlet acclimatization.
• Ongoing Support: Continued consultation to address challenges and refine techniques as needed.

3. Initial Plant Initiation

The initial stages of plant tissue culture are crucial for long-term success. We assist with:

• Plant Material Selection: Identifying and preparing the ideal tissue samples for culture.
• Protocol Development: Creating customized protocols for your specific plant species and goals.
• Process Guidance: Overseeing the first plant initiation to ensure protocols are followed accurately and efficiently.

Key Benefits of Setting Up a Tissue Culture Laboratory

1. Cost Efficiency:
   • Reduces dependency on external suppliers for clones and clean plants, lowering production costs over time.
