Product Description
Zeatin is a naturally occurring cytokinin, a class of plant hormones that promote cell division and growth. This high-purity 99% zeatin is specifically tested for plant culture applications, making it ideal for researchers, students, and educators working in plant tissue culture, micropropagation, and growth regulation studies.
Whether you’re conducting experiments in a university lab or optimizing plant growth protocols, this zeatin ensures reliable results. Its purity and consistency make it a trusted choice for scientific research and educational purposes.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of quality in lab supplies. That’s why we source this zeatin from reputable manufacturers to meet the stringent demands of plant biology research.
Applications of Zeatin in Plant Research
Zeatin plays a crucial role in various plant biology applications, including:
1. Plant Tissue Culture: Stimulates shoot initiation and proliferation in vitro, essential for cloning and genetic studies.
2. Cell Differentiation: Promotes the formation of new cells, aiding in the regeneration of plant tissues.
3. Delaying Senescence: Helps extend the lifespan of plant tissues by slowing down aging processes.
4. Chlorophyll Retention: Maintains green pigmentation in leaves, improving photosynthetic efficiency.
5. Stress Resistance: Enhances plant resilience to environmental stressors like drought or salinity.
For researchers working on crop improvement, medicinal plant propagation, or fundamental plant biology, this zeatin provides the precision needed for accurate experimental outcomes.
Why Zeatin Matters in Plant Science
Cytokinins like zeatin are fundamental to plant development. They work in synergy with auxins to regulate growth patterns, ensuring balanced root and shoot formation. In tissue culture, zeatin is often used to overcome recalcitrance in difficult-to-propagate species.
Students and educators will find this zeatin particularly useful for demonstrating hormone effects in plant physiology experiments. Its high purity minimizes variability, allowing for clearer observations and data collection.
Handling and Storage Guidelines
To maintain the integrity of your zeatin, follow these best practices:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider refrigeration at 2-8°C. Always use sterile techniques when handling to avoid contamination.
When preparing solutions, dissolve zeatin in a small volume of dilute HCl or DMSO before adding water. This ensures proper solubility and uniform distribution in culture media.
Safety Considerations
While zeatin is generally safe for lab use, it’s important to handle it with care. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses. Avoid inhalation or ingestion. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Choosing the Right Pack Size
eqipped offers zeatin in multiple pack sizes to suit different research needs. Whether you’re conducting small-scale experiments or large-scale tissue culture projects, you’ll find an option that matches your requirements. The 1g and 5g packs are ideal for students and small labs, while the 25g to 100g options cater to high-throughput research facilities.
