Plant Tissue Culture Services
Cultivar Clean-Up and Banking
This service takes in your plant material and turns it into adorable tissue culture babies that are free of disease and contaminants
Our cleaning process involves disinfection of your material and finding just the right media to make your plants thrive. Don’t worry, there are only millions of possible ingredient combinations for tissue culture media recipes, we’ve got this!
Want to keep your cultivars with us after they’ve already been cleaned up? No problem! We can hold your cultivars for as long as needed. However, tissue culture plants are temperamental, like all babies, and they need some upkeep and maintenance on our end
We will ensure they are stored correctly and perform periodic initiations of your material, just to make sure it’s still viable and not asleep.
Let us know when you’re ready to take all your babies home, and we will arrange a delivery of your clones
Key Benefits
Pathogen Elimination: Our tissue culture process can eliminate a wide range of plant pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, from your mother plants. Starting with a sterilized explant sample, we are able to regenerate disease-free plants, ensuring your genetic stock is free from harmful infections.
Indefinite Storage: Your genetics can be safely stored for extended periods—whether it’s months or years—without the risk of genetic degradation or contamination, ensuring that your unique traits are preserved for future use.
Low Space and Material Requirements: Unlike traditional methods of plant preservation, tissue culture requires minimal physical space and only a small amount of plant tissue, making it an efficient and resource-friendly option.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: The maintenance of stored genetic material is low-cost compared to other preservation methods, with minimal inputs required for upkeep.
Hop Latent Viroid Testing
Hop latent viroid (HLVd) isn’t something you want hiding out in your genetics. It can creep in unnoticed, reduce yields, and leave your plants looking tired before you even realize what’s going on. That’s why regular testing is essential.
With our HLVd testing service, we’ll screen your cultivars and give you clear results so you know exactly where you stand. No guesswork, no surprises—just the confidence that your plants are either clean or flagged for follow-up.
Think of it as a routine health check for your genetics. We’ll help you protect your hard work, keep your clean stock strong, and make sure nothing sneaky gets in the way of your production.
Key Benefits
Early Detection and Protection: Identify hop latent viroid before it spreads through your facility, protecting your genetics, yields, and overall crop health.
Maintain Clean Genetic Stock: Keep your collection of cultivars free from silent infections, ensuring you always have reliable, high-performing mother plants.
Support for Remediation Strategies: Clear results give you the information you need to make confident decisions—whether that means isolating infected material or banking your clean cultivars with us.
