Agar, Bacteriological
Bacteriological Agar is an essential ingredient to have on hand for many cell culture applications. This fine powder is ideal for a strong gel in microbiological media formulations when used at 10-15 g/L and dissolved at 100°C. It is advised to use in media where clarity is not a strict requirement.

Agar, Phytoagar™
Agar, Phytoagar™ is a high gel strength agar, perfect for a wide variety of applications in plant tissue culture work. This specific formula is free of extra salts that are detrimental to plant growth, but are commonly present in other commercially offered agars. With a gel strength of 550 g/cm2, it is recommended to add Phytoagar™ to plant media at 7-12 g/L for best results.

Hygromycin B Solution
This aminoglycoside antibiotic solution inhibits growth of prokaryotic (bacterial) microorganisms, eukaryotic (yeast) microorganism and mammalian cells. It is particularly useful as a selective agent for the incorporation of the APH 4 gene in plant tissue. It inhibits peptide chain elongation by preventing elongation-factor EF-2 dependent translocation.

Basta (Glufosinate Ammonium)
Glufosinate ammonium is a non-selective herbicide for plant transformation studies using nucleotide sequences of the phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase gene from Streptomyces viridochromogenes, “Bar gene”. It acts by inhibiting glutamine synthetase, blocking all nitrogen assimilation into the plant. BASTA® is the registered trademark of Bayer CropScience.
