Must-Have Consumables for Home Plant Tissue Culture
Alongside equipment, consumable items play a vital role in plant tissue culture processes. In my home lab, I regularly stock agar powder, Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium, plant growth regulators like auxins and cytokinins, and sterile distilled water. I also use alcohol, bleach, and sterile gloves to maintain aseptic conditions during explant preparation. Petri dishes, culture jars, and filter papers are essential for media preparation and plantlet growth. These high-quality consumables ensure optimal nutrient delivery and contamination control, making them indispensable for anyone practicing home-based plant micropropagation.
