Manufacturing Capabilities
PhytoTech Labs can develop and manufacture proprietary media formulations to meet the requirements for any specific plant cell lines. Our capability gives plant researchers the opportunity to have proprietary custom media manufactured either as a dry powder medium or a liquid medium in batch sizes ranging from 100 L to 40,000 L. This service saves you time in media preparation and reduces the possibility of technician error in the formulation of the media. A mutually signed confidentiality agreement assures you that all records pertaining to the custom media will be held in the strictest of confidences.
There are strict SOPs and specific guidelines for the packaging of Dry Powder Media and biochemicals, to which the technicians stringently adhere. This helps to ensure the accuracy, lot-by-lot consistency, and overall quality expected from our products.
For larger orders, we can custom package media and biochemicals in ready-to-use packages. This eliminates your technicians having to spend time weighing out chemicals and improves their efficiency.
The supply of liquid media (LM) offers scientists and production personnel sterile, ready to use media for bioreactors, micropropagation production, and research. SOPs specific for each phase of liquid media formulation, manufacturing and packaging are ardently followed.
PhytoTech Labs can package LM in package sizes ranging from 10 mL bottles to 20 L bags.
Product Development & Continuous Quality Control
The growth promoting activity of all plant tissue culture products, where applicable, is evaluated with a minimum of two commercially important plant cell line (species). Media are supplemented with the appropriate concentrations of biochemicals and/or plant growth regulators (PGRs), where applicable, and suitable cell lines are tested. Each lot of product is compared to product history and periodically literature references for growth promoting activities. PhytoTech Labs, where applicable, evaluates the lot or product in test for active production of shoots, embryos, or plantlets without morphological aberration, increase in callus fresh weight, root production, cell growth, and/or overall appearance of the tissue.
PhytoTech Labs maintains retention samples of each lot of raw material, biochemical and medium for a minimum of seven years or according to the time specified in the respective Standard Operation Procedure. Retention samples are routinely pulled for stability studies to ensure a long stable shelf-life of their products.
