Custom Services and Capabilities
We have a full-scale custom media manufacturing operation that can make your formulation for you. Whether your application is in plant tissue culture, microbiology, molecular biology, breeding, mammalian or other areas of research and production, we have the manufacturing expertise to produce a completely homogenous powder or solution for your application.
The benefits of custom media:
- Like our listed media, custom media has higher lot-to-lot consistency than making each batch from scratch.
- Media components are physio-chemically tested to meet desired expectations.
- Custom formulations can be biologically tested on live plant tissue to ensure viability.
- We can produce standing orders at your desired frequency (e.g., monthly or quarterly).
Protecting your formulation:
- We can sign a non-disclosure agreement with your company or institution prior to ever seeing your formulation.
- Signing a non-disclosure agreement is not a requirement or commitment to ordering from us.
- A sales rep and a technical rep will work with you while getting your media quote.
- Private labeling is available on request.
Dry Powder Media Formulations

- We’re driven to produce media of the highest quality and go to great lengths to make certain that we’re producing media that is consistent from lot-to-lot.
- Batch sizes can be from 100 L to 30000 L (500 g to 150 kg) in a single lot.
- Media components are physio-chemically tested to meet desired expectations.
- Custom formulations can be biologically tested on live plant tissue to ensure the absence of heavy metals or other phyto-toxic elements prior to release.
Packaging, labeling, and shipping
- Package sizes can be as small as 500 mg and as large as 25 kg.
- Units 1 g to 9.5 g in package size can be packaged in single-use foil bags.
- Custom labeling available at no additional charge (labels must be received prior to media manufacture).
- Large volume orders can be shipped by freight, or by your preferred shipping methods (handling fees may apply).
- Media can be manufactured to meet your annual needs in one shipment.
Liquid Media Formulations

- We go to the same lengths to ensure quality as we do in our dry powder media.
- Batch sizes can be from 10 L to 100 L in a single lot.
- All liquid media are sterile filtered through a 0.2 micron filter, unless filtering is unnecessary.
- Sterility testing is available upon request, and takes 2-3 weeks to complete after manufacture.
