Mini Compact Bypass Pruners for Plant Tissue Culture Preparation

Designed for home enthusiasts and micropropagation hobbyists in mind, these Mini Compact Bypass Pruners are an excellent tool for preparing plant material before sterilisation and culturing. While not originally designed specifically for plant tissue culture, their compact size, ergonomic grip, and precision cutting blades make them perfectly suited for clean, consistent cuts — essential in reducing contamination and promoting successful propagation.

Precision Cutting for Delicate Plant Material

These pruners feature stainless steel blades engineered to deliver clean, close cuts on soft stems and tender growth. The bypass design allows for a scissor-like action, reducing damage to plant cells during cutting. This is especially important when selecting and trimming explants for tissue culture or preparing specimens for sterile workspaces. Their mini and lightweight form ensures precise control, allowing users to manoeuvre easily around smaller or more intricate growth without the bulk of standard garden shears. Whether you are cutting nodal segments, trimming callus tissue, or preparing meristem tips, these pruners provide reliable performance for refined horticultural techniques.

Compact, Comfortable, and Built for Accuracy

Ergonomically crafted handles with anti-slip grip ensure maximum comfort during extended use, reducing hand fatigue during detailed tasks. The spring-loaded mechanism allows smooth, effortless cuts with minimal pressure — ideal for users performing repetitive cuts during media preparation or specimen selection. Though not a sterilised tool, these pruners can be easily cleaned with standard lab protocols, making them a reusable option within a plant tissue culture workflow when sterilised appropriately. They are also suitable for general horticultural care, pruning bonsai, indoor propagation, or greenhouse trimming.

Ideal for Home Lab Use and Enthusiasts

Whether you're an amateur plant biotechnologist or a seasoned propagation enthusiast, these Mini Compact Bypass Pruners serve as a reliable companion for working with live plant materials. They provide the accuracy needed in pre-lab trimming, ensuring that your explants are prepared with care and precision.

 Perfect for use in: -

• Explant preparation before sterilisation
• Fine trimming of soft stem plants
• Nodal and inter-nodal segment cutting
• Delicate specimen work in controlled environments

Add precision to your plant tissue culture practice with a tool that delivers consistency, control, and clean results every time.

Review

I use these cutters for all my explant collecting.  Make sure you keep then clean by washing after use.  Spray and wipe them with a 70% alcohol solution before cutting your explain samples.
