Questions & Answers

Is this something that can be used with aquatic plants?

Yes, in a controlled environment for tissue culture. Otherwise, I wouldn't put it in an aquarium; it'll be a disaster.

Hello, is this a "ready to use mix"?

It's a powder, about 41 grams, and the packaging says it needs to be refrigerated. I wish I'd known sooner because the shipping envelope sat in an uncontrolled climate part of the warehouse for over a week before I opened it.

How should this product be stored prior to use?

Refrige.

Is it okay if I don't use a hood for this? Is the hood there solely to prevent contamination, or is it there because the fumes are harmful?

Without a doubt. It's agar (kelp) with some vitamins and minerals and, I'm guessing, a little sugar, but it's not food grade. br>It has a soupy smell to it.

Selected User Reviews For HiMedia PT100-1L Murashige and Skoog Medium with CaCl2, Vitamins, Sucrose, Agar, 1 L

To harden, it was necessary to bring it to a low boil

3/5

I was fortunate enough to have purchased two packs. The fact that it was available on Amazon was appealing to me. I didn't care for the fact that it had to be brought to a boil to solidify. Apart from that, my plants rooted in 3 weeks with no problems; I believe most people will try to autoclave it, but there isn't enough agar in it to do so. I'm going to buy it once more.

I sent it back and chose a different vendor

3/5

Because the product was not kept at the right temperature, it was rendered useless.

It didn't quite work out

3/5

The mixture did not gel and remained a liquid. Was completely dissolved after 15 minutes in the autoclave, and the pH was perfect. br>br>Perhaps, as the previous comment suggests, it was not saved correctly. br>br>If I tried it again, I'd use 500mL instead of 1L as suggested on the data sheet.
