COPPER SULPHATE PENTAHYDRATE

Copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO₄ • 5H₂O) is used in plant tissue culture media to promote plant growth and eliminate bacteria. It’s also used in cell culture to increase cell density and protein titer.

How Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate is used in tissue culture

• Plant growth

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate can improve plant growth, shoot multiplication, and survival.

• Eliminate bacteria

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate can eliminate endophytic bacteria that can hinder plant growth.

• Cell metabolism

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate can increase cell density, protein titer, and reduce lactate accumulation.

• Cell culture

Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate can increase viable cell density and protein titer.
