Description
Plantcell Sucrose Powder 100g – ACS Grade (For Plant Tissue Culture)
ACS grade represents one of the highest purity standards for laboratory chemicals, ensuring exceptional consistency and reliability in plant tissue culture applications.
Plantcell Sucrose Powder is a high-purity carbohydrate source formulated specifically for in-vitro plant culture. It provides the essential carbon and energy supply required by explants and cultured tissues, supporting callus growth, root and shoot formation, and overall vigorous development.
This sucrose dissolves quickly and offers excellent batch-to-batch consistency, making it suitable for all standard media formulations, including MS, B5, and custom blends.
In plant tissue culture, S011 Sucrose ACS Grade serves as the primary carbon source because cultured tissues typically lack sufficient photosynthetic ability. It fuels respiration, growth, and cell division, enabling the synthesis of vital biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.
Beyond nutrition, sucrose also plays a key role in regulating osmotic pressure within the medium. Proper osmotic balance protects cells from plasmolysis or lysis, stabilises cell membranes, and supports efficient nutrient and water uptake. Adjusting sucrose concentrations can influence morphogenesis, trigger root or shoot formation, and even induce somatic embryogenesis—an important process for clonal propagation, genetic transformation, and conservation work.
Disclaimer: Results may vary depending on species, protocols, and experimental conditions. Consult relevant literature or tissue-culture specialists to optimise usage for your specific application.
