The media preparation process is a very important part of the work in a plant tissue culture lab. However, it is also a very time-consuming part due to the wide variety of culture vessels (for e.g. multiplication and rooting), as well as culture tubes (to e.g. grow single plantlets or store genetics) being used. The variety in shapes and formats of vessels and tubes makes it difficult to make the media production process more efficient. Other key reasons for the large amount of time needed are slow autoclaves or media claves and using manual or slow-working dispensing equipment (e.g. pipettes and peristaltic pumps). With our steam-driven ‘Premium’ media preparator a batch of media could already be produced in approximately 35-40 minutes. The media dispensing process can be done more efficiently with our semi-automatic dispensing system for culture vessels and our automated dispensing system for culture tubes and conicals.
