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 designed for laboratories working with plant cell culture, tissue culture, micropropagation, regeneration and plant physiology research.
The formulation contains the essential mineral salts, vitamins and glycine commonly required to support plant tissue growth under controlled laboratory conditions. Each pouch contains 221.30 g of powder, sufficient to prepare 50 litres of basal medium when reconstituted according to the appropriate laboratory protocol.
Product Overview
Murashige & Skoog medium, commonly referred to as MS medium, is one of the most widely used basal media in plant tissue culture. It provides a balanced combination of macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins and glycine to support the in vitro growth and development of a broad range of plant species.
This powdered formulation allows researchers to prepare fresh culture medium and adapt the final composition according to the requirements of the plant species, tissue type and experimental protocol.
Depending on the application, researchers may supplement the prepared medium with sucrose, agar or another gelling agent, plant growth regulators, antibiotics or other experimental additives.
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 workflows
- Culture of explants, meristems and plant organs
- Plant physiology and developmental studies
- Agricultural, horticultural and botanical research
- Preparation of customized plant culture media
Product Description
Murashige & Skoog basal medium provides essential inorganic nutrients and vitamins required for the controlled in vitro cultivation of plant cells, tissues and organs.
The macronutrient components supply elements required in relatively large quantities for plant growth, while the micronutrients provide essential trace elements. The included vitamins and glycine support cellular metabolism and tissue development under laboratory culture conditions.
The final performance of the prepared medium may depend on the plant species, explant type, pH, culture conditions and additional supplements used. Researchers can modify the basal medium by adding plant growth regulators such as auxins or cytokinins, as well as sucrose, gelling agents or other compounds required for a specific experimental workflow.
CytoLyva’s powdered format offers a practical solution for laboratories that require consistent preparation of MS-based plant culture medium.

Preparation Guidance
Dissolve the complete contents of one 221.30 g pouch in purified or distilled water to prepare a final volume of 50 litres.
The exact preparation procedure may vary according to the laboratory protocol. Researchers may need to:
- Dissolve the powder in approximately 80–90% of the required final water volume.
- Add sucrose, plant growth regulators or other supplements as required.
- Adjust the pH according to the selected plant tissue culture protocol.
- Add a suitable gelling agent when preparing solid medium.
- Bring the solution to the final volume of 50 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 be validated for the specific plant species and tissue culture application.
Storage and Handling
Store the unopened product according to the conditions indicated on the product label or accompanying technical documentation.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and protect the powder from moisture, excessive heat and direct light. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening when necessary to help reduce the risk of condensation.
Handle the product using standard laboratory procedures, appropriate personal protective equipment and good laboratory practice.
Suggested Use
Murashige & Skoog Basal Salts are commonly used as the nutritional foundation for plant tissue culture media. The basal formulation can be adapted by adding appropriate plant growth regulators and supplements according to the required response, such as callus induction, shoot multiplication, rooting or plant regeneration.
The optimal medium composition may vary depending on:
- Plant species and cultivar
- Explant or tissue type
- Developmental stage
- Plant growth regulator combination
- Culture temperature and lighting
- Liquid or solid culture format
- Experimental objectives
Researchers should validate the final formulation and culture conditions for their specific experimental system.
