Description
Overview
Plant Preservative Mixture (PPM™) is a broad-spectrum biocide for plant tissue culture. PPM™ is the ultimate solution to the never-ending struggle against microbial airborne, waterborne, and endogenous contamination.
Coupled with proper observation of aseptic laboratory techniques, PPM™ can increase your chances of a successful and thriving culture experiment.
The Benefits of Plant Preservative Mixture
Optimum Doses: Extremely effective preservative/biocide without impairing in vitro seed germination or callus regeneration.
Broad Spectrum: Prevents germination of both bacteria and fungi spores. Heat stable and can be autoclaved directly with media.
Cost-Effective: Substantially less expensive than commonly used antibiotics.
Does not affect the genetic profile of the plants.
How To Use Plant Preservative Mixture?
1. General Dosage Levels: Recommended dose range is 0.05%–0.2%. For callus proliferation, recommended range is 0.05–0.075%.
2. Endogenous Contamination: Gently shake/stir 1 cm long explants for 4–12 hours in 4–5% v/v PPM™ solution.
