Classical Plant Media Formulations

Classical plant tissue culture media developed years ago by pioneers such as Murashige, Skoog, Gamborg, and others still play a vital role in plant tissue culture research today.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
