Apollo Sci. Murashige and skoog basal medium with vitamins

The Apollo Scientific Murashige and Skoog (MS) Basal Medium with Vitamins is a plant tissue culture growth medium based on the classical 1962 formulation by Murashige and Skoog. This medium provides balanced macronutrients, micronutrients, and essential vitamins required for optimal in vitro plant growth, callus induction, and organogenesis.

Widely used in plant transformation, micropropagation, and genetic engineering, MS medium serves as a reliable base that can be supplemented with additional components such as sucrose, agar, auxins (e.g., IAA), and cytokinins (e.g., kinetin) to meet specific experimental needs.

Key Features

✅ Classic MS formulation with vitamins

✅ Includes high levels of nitrate for robust plant tissue development

✅ Supports cell division, morphogenesis, and root/shoot growth

✅ Available in multiple pack sizes for convenience and scalability

✅ Suitable for use with auxins and cytokinins for customized culture conditions
