FAQs
1. What is the recommended storage condition for Salicylic Acid?
For optimal stability and longevity, Salicylic Acid should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is best to keep it at room temperature (15-30°C).
2. Is this grade of Salicylic Acid suitable for all types of plant culture?
Yes, our Salicylic Acid is ‘Plant Culture Tested’ and has a purity of 99.0%, making it highly suitable for a broad range of plant tissue culture applications, including cell suspensions, calli, and explant cultures. Its high purity minimizes interference with sensitive plant systems.
3. How does Salicylic Acid influence plant physiological processes?
Salicylic Acid acts as a key signaling molecule involved in various plant processes, notably systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against pathogens. It also plays roles in thermogenesis, stomatal closure, nutrient uptake, and flowering, contributing to overall plant stress tolerance and development.
4. What does “Plant Culture Tested” signify for this product?
The “Plant Culture Tested” designation indicates that this batch of Salicylic Acid has undergone specific quality control tests to ensure it does not contain substances that could negatively impact plant growth, viability, or experimental outcomes in a plant cell or tissue culture environment. This guarantees its suitability for sensitive biological research.
5. Are there any known incompatibilities when using Salicylic Acid in lab preparations?
While Salicylic Acid is generally stable, it can react with strong oxidizing agents or strong bases. When preparing solutions or combining it with other compounds, it’s advisable to check for potential pH-dependent interactions or precipitation, especially in complex media formulations.
