Athena Shoots Culture Media is a pre-formulated, dry-powder tissue-culture medium designed specifically for Stage II shoot multiplication. Each sachet contains an all-in-one formula that eliminates the need to weigh individual media components or separately measure agar, cytokinin, or auxin. Simply dissolve the sachet in RO water, sterilize it in an autoclave, and pour it into sterile culture vessels before introducing the plant material. It is intended to support vigorous new shoot development and genetic multiplication from established explants within a controlled, sterile in-vitro workflow.

Key Advantage: Athena Shoots Culture Media removes much of the batch-to-batch formulation variability associated with preparing tissue-culture media manually. The sealed, pre-measured sachet provides a standardized 125 mL batch for Stage II shoot multiplication, making it particularly useful for commercial propagation programs that need repeatable media preparation and genetic replication. It is a consumable rather than a complete tissue-culture system, so an existing flow hood and autoclave are sufficient.
