FAQs
1. What is the primary function of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid in a laboratory setting?
It is primarily used as a synthetic plant hormone (auxin) to regulate plant growth, induce calli formation in tissue culture, and study herbicide mechanisms in plant physiology experiments.
2. Is this product suitable for use in plant tissue culture applications?
Yes, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid is frequently utilized in plant tissue culture protocols to initiate callus formation and promote cell proliferation due to its strong auxin activity.
3. How should 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid be stored to maintain its efficacy?
It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in a tightly sealed container to prevent degradation and maintain its chemical stability over time.
4. Can this product be used as a selective herbicide?
While 2,4-D is an active ingredient in many selective herbicides, this lab-grade product is intended for research and experimental purposes rather than direct agricultural application as a consumer-ready herbicide.
5. What safety precautions are recommended when handling 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, safety glasses, and a lab coat. Handle in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information.
