Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

Hydrochloric Acid is widely used in plant tissue culture:

• pH adjustment: Primary acid used for adjusting media pH before autoclaving (typically to pH 5.6–5.8).
  • Nutrient preparation: Helps dissolve certain micronutrients and salts requiring acidic conditions.
  • Surface sterilization (diluted): Used in specific cleaning and decontamination protocols in tissue culture labs.
  • General laboratory reagent: Essential for preparing analytical solutions and maintaining aseptic conditions.
