A strong tissue culture project begins before plant material reaches the laboratory. Good preparation improves traceability and makes early technical decisions easier.
Prepare the identity
Record the species, cultivar, source and ownership status. Use a simple internal code if the commercial name is confidential.
Prepare the plant
Select actively growing material where possible. Photograph the plant, record recent pest or disease concerns and avoid mixing samples from different sources without clear labels.
Prepare the commercial brief
State whether the priority is preservation, cleaning up a valuable line, pilot multiplication or commercial-scale supply. Include the desired delivery format and realistic volume range.
