Athena Culture Kit – propagate plants easily and sterilely by tissue culture

Plant propagation in the smallest space: the Athena Culture Kit gives you a compact complete system for sterile plant propagation by tissue culture. The portable mini lab combines a flow hood, autoclave, tools, culture media and clone containers – so you can start micropropagation straight away.

Your complete mini lab for plant culture

Anyone who wants to preserve, archive and efficiently propagate valuable plant genetics in the long term needs one thing above all: controlled, as sterile as possible working conditions. That is exactly what the Athena Culture Kit was developed for.

The system enables space-saving archiving of numerous varieties and supports continuous propagation of plant material. With the ready-made media included, there is no need for laborious weighing of individual components – add water, prepare and get started.

Everything you need to get started

Instead of putting together individual components for your tissue culture lab, the Athena Culture Kit gives you a matched complete set. The integrated laminar flow hood with HEPA H13 filter creates a clean working environment, while the 8-litre autoclave makes it easier to sterilise suitable materials and media.

• Complete system: all the key components for getting started in plant tissue culture
• Clean working environment: flow hood with G3 pre-filter and HEPA H13 filter
• Easy sterilisation: 8-litre autoclave with convenient one-button operation
• Ready-made culture media: Roots and Shoots media without laborious weighing of individual components
• Space-saving archiving: preserve many plant lines in comparatively little space
• Complete tool set: essential lab tools are already included
• Step-by-step instructions: structured support for the entire workflow
• High capacity: material for producing approx. 120 clones

More control over valuable plant genetics

Tissue culture offers a space-saving way to preserve plant material over longer periods and bring it back into propagation when needed. This makes the Athena Culture Kit particularly suitable for archiving, safeguarding and controlled propagation of selected plant lines.

Older genetics can also be used for further propagation with suitable tissue culture methods. Under professional conditions, such culture methods can also be part of programmes to clean up or reduce certain plant pathogen loads. Specific results depend on the plant species, starting material and method used.

Ready-made media instead of complicated preparation

A particular advantage of the kit is the ready-prepared Roots Culture Media and Shoots Culture Media. This considerably simplifies the laborious compilation and dosing of the individual media components.

This saves preparation time and makes getting started in plant micropropagation more convenient.

For professional applications and demanding plant breeders

The Athena Culture Kit is aimed at users who want to set up their plant propagation in a structured, reproducible and space-saving way. It is particularly suitable for plant labs, micropropagation, genetics archiving and the controlled production of plant material.
