PCT Consultation Service

Tissue culture is an advanced and revolutionary technique. It allowed industrialists and scientists to create a variety of plants, conserve the plant species that are getting extinct, and produce disease-free plants. It provided a way to mass-produce plants and fulfill the market demands. All without compromising or damaging the present population of plants.

Using the technique is easy, however, the challenging part is creating a protocol for plants, even for expert culturists and scientists. Nevertheless, thousands of scientists are working on creating an efficient tissue culture protocol for plants high in demands or crops or endangered plants.

After getting a protocol, contamination is the biggest challenge in implementing the procedure. And, this part is tricky. Because one infected plant can spoil your whole culture of thousands of plants. However, if you are an expert and you have time and money, gradually you overcome the problem.

But, what if you’re a beginner and you don’t have much money and time to offer to the process. You’re just a hobbyist.
