PLANT TISSUE CULTURE EQUIPMENT

BioCoupler® Glass Set (8 oz) x1

Reusable glass-vessel system designed for temporary immersion plant tissue culture and micropropagation using liquid culture medium.

Product Overview

BioCoupler® Glass Set (8 oz) is a reusable glass-vessel system for temporary immersion plant tissue culture. This set includes two 8 fl oz (237 mL) autoclavable glass jars connected by a BioCoupler® system to facilitate the movement of liquid culture medium between vessels.

The system is designed to support mixing, wetting, agitation, coating, and transfer of plant propagules in a high-humidity culture environment. An integrated microporous vent filter supports filtered air exchange and pressure equalization.

BioCoupler® is designed for plant propagation workflows without conventional plumbing, electrical power, or timers. It uses liquid culture medium, eliminating the need for a gelling agent during temporary immersion.

Key Features & Benefits

Applications

BioCoupler® has been tested for temporary immersion culture across a range of plant types. It is suitable for research and propagation workflows involving:

• Temporary immersion bioreactor culture
• Plant tissue and organ culture
• In vitro micropropagation and plant multiplication
• Plant shoot and propagule culture
• Orchid propagation
• Hemp tissue culture research
• Aquatic plant and succulent propagation
• Fern and carnivorous plant tissue culture

Culture Setup & Preparation

Prepare the BioCoupler® system according to the requirements of the plant species and selected tissue culture protocol.

Fill the lower jar with liquid culture medium to approximately two-thirds of its capacity. Place the plant propagules in the upper jar according to the culture protocol.

Use an appropriate plant tissue culture medium, such as MS medium. A gelling agent is not required for temporary immersion. PPM may be used according to the laboratory protocol to help manage contamination.

Important: Autoclave the BioCoupler® system before use according to the manufacturer's instructions. Confirm that all components are properly assembled and sterilized before introducing plant material.
