The story behind our company
Despite its crucial role in mass-producing high-quality plants, the plant tissue culture industry faces several challenges that impact its reach, efficiency, and scalability. These challenges encompass various stages of the tissue culture process, from laboratory operations to plantlets' success rate and plant characteristics.
Current methods and manual practices of plant tissue-culture often date back sixty years. As a result, they have limited scope and, even when applicable, regularly yield weak plantlets with poor survival rates. Furthermore, the lack of automation results in increased human involvement, which is expensive and increases the chance of errors and contamination.
Innovation and technology in plant tissue culture are vital for the scalable, rapid, and uniform production of disease-free and robust plants with desirable traits. However, few solutions are available; most have limited applications and focus on only one part of the process. Additionally, their price tag is often a deterrent for smaller enterprises and even difficult to justify for larger enterprises.
