Description:

Agar TC-5 is a specific type of agar used in plant tissue culture and other biological applications. This product is typically shipped under ambient conditions, and users are advised to consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed storage and handling instructions. 

Applications:

• Agar TC-5 would help create a stable and supportive matrix for plant tissues to grow, ensuring they remain in place and can develop properly.
•  It would enable the absorption of nutrients, water, and growth regulators by plant tissues, which is essential for their growth and development.
• As with other agars used in tissue culture, Agar TC-5 would help maintain a sterile environment, which is crucial for successful plant propagation.

Features: 

• It has a gel strength of 530 ± 20 g/cm² at a 1.5% concentration, providing a stable and supportive matrix for plant tissue growth. 
• Primarily used as a gelling agent in plant tissue culture media, it helps in the solidification of the culture medium, ensuring a stable environment for plant tissues to grow and absorb nutrients.
• Agar TC-5 is typically stored at room temperature, making it convenient for laboratory use.
