Murashige & Skoog Medium (MS) + Vitamins

A complete Murashige & Skoog basal medium with vitamins for plant tissue culture.

A convenient dry powder formulation for growers who want to create and customise their own plant tissue culture media. 

The foundation of plant tissue culture.

MS Medium + Vitamins provides a complete basal nutrient formulation based on Murashige & Skoog medium, including vitamins.

MS medium is one of the most widely used basal media in plant tissue culture and provides the mineral nutrients required as the foundation for a wide range of tissue culture formulations.

Create your own formulations

Depending on your chosen protocol, you can combine MS Medium + Vitamins with additional components such as:

Carbohydrates
For example, sucrose.

Gelling agents
For preparing solid or semi-solid media.

Plant Growth Regulators
Such as cytokinins or auxins, depending on your chosen formulation and intended application.

This allows you to create customised media for different plant species and stages of tissue culture.

Preparation

The product should be prepared according to your chosen tissue culture formulation or protocol.

A typical workflow may involve:

1. Dissolving the required amount of MS Medium in water (4.4g / 1L water). 
2. Adding the additional components required by your formulation (i.e sucrose, PGRs). 
3. Adjusting the pH.
4. Adding a gelling agent if preparing a solid medium.
5. Sterilizing the prepared medium using an appropriate method.

Preparation requirements can vary depending on the specific protocol being followed.
