Kinetin 5g is a synthetic cytokinin that stimulates cell division when added to growth media such as Murashige and Skoog media in conjunction with auxins.

The Benefits of Kinetin

• Easy to use
• It helps stimulate cell division and promotes the proper growth of plants.
• Used to supplement tissue culture media, such as MS media
• Induces callus development and shoot initiation from the callus at a later stage

How To Use Kinetin Powder

Follow the given steps to prepare the tissue culture media using PCT’s Kinetin powder:

1. Prepare liquid tissue culture media using PCT’s MS, DKW, or other alternative media.
2. Add sugar based on the quantity of media you’re making (generally, 30 grams of sugar is added for 1-litre media), 1 ml/L PPM, and 3-4 grams per litre of gellan gum or 6-8 grams per litre of agar.
3. Then, add the desired quantity of Kinetin from the prepared Kinetin stock solution.
4. Autoclave the medium for 20 minutes at 15 psi and 121℃.

Your media is ready!

We offer both powder and Kinetin solution forms of our plant growth regulators to meet different needs:

Powder Form: This is the raw, solid form of the product. It offers a longer shelf life, is cost-effective, and ideal for customers who prefer to prepare their solutions at desired concentrations.

Solution Form: This is a ready-to-use or ready-to-dilute liquid product version. It provides convenience and ensures consistent concentration, saving preparation time. However, it generally has a shorter shelf life and should be stored properly to maintain effectiveness.

Both forms contain the same active ingredient—the choice depends on your application preferences, storage capabilities, and handling needs. We’re happy to assist if you have any questions about usage or preparation.
