Supports vs Agar Solidified Medium. The buoyant float keeps the interfacial membrane raft at the liquid-gas interface without the need to adjust liquid levels. A tough polypropylene, nominal 0.3 micron membrane, made hydrophilic by a special surfactant, is recommended for micropropagation, while for root culture, a polypropylene, nominal 25 micron spunbond fiber hydrophilic membrane, is available. Y-Rafts, made of wide mesh polypropylene are available for hydroponic plants and for root cultures. Floats and Rafts are available in two sizes, and are autoclavable for reuse.
Rafts are also available as disposable sterile product.
Supports vs Agar Solidified Medium. LifeReactor TM The LifeReactor Bioreactor system is a simple, inexpensive bioreactor with disposable vessels which is used for multiplication of organogenic culture such as nodules, meristem clumps or compact shoot clusters, somatic embryos and cells, and for growth of bulbs, corms or microtubers. The system produces up to 1000 plantlets per liter of liquid medium. VitroCut TM The VitroCut mechanical plant culture separator randomly cuts culture material on a knife grid with a unique self cleaning anvil. Cut plant material falls directly into a sterile vessel.
