Murashige & Skoog Basal Salts With Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Vitamins and Glycine
Complete powdered basal medium for plant tissue culture, micropropagation and plant research applications.
CytoLyva's Murashige & Skoog Basal Salts With Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Vitamins and Glycine is a complete powdered plant tissue culture medium developed for laboratories involved in plant cell culture, tissue culture, micropropagation, regeneration and plant physiology research.
The formulation contains the essential macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and glycine required for the in vitro cultivation of a wide variety of plant species. Each pouch contains 2,215 Kg of powder, sufficient to prepare 500 litres of basal medium when reconstituted according to the appropriate laboratory protocol.
Product Overview
Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium is one of the most widely used basal media in plant tissue culture. This formulation combines a balanced mixture of macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and glycine to support the in vitro growth and development of numerous plant species.
The powdered format enables researchers to prepare fresh culture medium while allowing complete flexibility to modify the final composition according to the plant species, tissue type and experimental requirements.
Depending on the intended application, the prepared medium may be supplemented with:
- Sucrose
- Agar or other gelling agents
- Plant growth regulators (auxins and cytokinins)
- Antibiotics
- Activated charcoal
- Other laboratory supplements
Applications
CytoLyva Murashige & Skoog Basal Salts may be used in:
- Plant tissue culture
- Plant cell culture
- Micropropagation
- In vitro seed germination
- Callus induction and maintenance
- Shoot induction and multiplication
- Root induction
- Plant regeneration
- Culture of explants, meristems and plant organs
- Plant physiology studies
- Agricultural and horticultural research
- Botanical research
- Preparation of customized plant culture media
Product Description
Murashige & Skoog basal medium provides the essential mineral nutrients, vitamins and glycine required for the controlled in vitro cultivation of plant tissues, cells and organs.
The formulation includes:
- Macronutrients required in relatively large quantities for plant growth
- Micronutrients supplying essential trace elements
- Vitamins to support normal cellular metabolism and tissue development
- Glycine as a component of the vitamin/amino acid supplementation of the medium
The final performance of the prepared medium depends on several experimental variables including:
- Plant species
- Explant type
- Culture conditions
- Medium pH
- Added plant growth regulators
- Carbon source
- Additional supplements
Researchers can adapt the basal formulation according to their own experimental protocols.
CytoLyva's powdered formulation provides a convenient and reproducible solution for laboratories routinely preparing MS-based plant culture media.
Preparation Guidance
Dissolve the complete contents of one 2,215 Kg pouch in purified or distilled water to prepare a final volume of 500 litres.
The preparation procedure may vary according to laboratory protocols. Researchers may need to:
- Dissolve the powder in approximately 80–90% of the required final water volume.
- Add sucrose if required.
- Supplement with plant growth regulators or other additives.
- Adjust the pH according to the selected protocol.
- Add a suitable gelling agent when preparing solid media.
- Bring the solution to the final volume of 500 L.
- Sterilize or filter the prepared medium according to the requirements of the added components and experimental procedure.
The optimal supplementation, pH and sterilization conditions should always be validated for the intended plant species and application.
Storage and Handling
Store the unopened product under the conditions indicated on the product label or accompanying technical documentation.
Keep the pouch tightly sealed and protect the powder from:
- Moisture
- Excessive heat
- Direct sunlight
Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening when necessary to minimize condensation.
Handle the product using appropriate laboratory procedures, personal protective equipment and good laboratory practice.
