Tri Sodium Citrate

Tri Sodium Citrate (Sodium Citrate) is widely used in plant tissue culture:

• Buffering agent: Helps maintain a stable pH in culture media, improving enzyme activity and cellular metabolism.
  • Chelating agent: Binds metal ions (like Fe³⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺) to prevent unwanted precipitation and improve nutrient availability.
  • Prevents oxidation: Reduces browning in sensitive tissues by minimizing oxidative reactions.
  • Stabilizes vitamins & hormones: Protects sensitive components in the media from degradation.
  • Used in many TC protocols: Suitable for callus culture, suspension culture, micropropagation, and antioxidant media formulations.
