plant tissue culture reagents in australia

[Rene Riedelbauch]

Hey,

Anyone know where to buy reagents for plant tissue culture in Australia? 

Also, if anyone has any further info or resources it would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rene

There is a Yahoo group I believe called Kitchen Culture Group (it might be google I can't remember) which has some very knowledgable people.  One guy has a youtube channel I believe and is based out of Australia and sells a lot of reagents.

I know the lady that runs it, Carol I think her name is, has a website, found here http://www.kitchenculturekit.com/

I haven't been on the list in 1-2 years, but the guy is nice, and unfortunately I forget his name.  I want to say it's Arthur.  If you email the lady that runs that website she will probably tell you. 

Otherwise wait for Sebastian, the lists resident plant wizard, to chime in.

Phytotech Labs is my go-to place for plant tissue culture stuff.  Hormones, growth media, etc.

They are in the United States but ship internationally.  Shipping cost for USA->Australia is probably ridiculous, though.

Austratec are fantastic for the hobbyist/small business. https://www.austratec.com.au/

All the usual M&S, Agar, hormones, nutrients etc are available.

They are agents for phytotec, so no customs problems.

I have found them friendly, and deeply supportive.

I have a side interest in getting plant biotech into schools. Just because it is the closest I can get to biotech without regulatory issues.

If you want to do plant TC, you might find my sub-$100 growth cabinet interesting. (mine was ~$60, but hey - I recycled - thrift shop yea!)

I have shared updates on this with the Perth DIYBio community:

because, you know, everyone should clone an animal-bashing plant at least once in their lifetime!

Cheers,
