About this Event
Welcome to the Plant Tissue Culture Workshop! Join us at BioCurious (3108 Patrick Henry Dr, Santa Clara, CA 95054) for hands-on experience in plant micropropagation. In this class, you’ll learn about the four stages of micropropagation (sterile technique and aseptic culture, multiplication, in vitro rooting, and acclimatization) and begin a culture for your own houseplant.
Each workshop we work with a different houseplant and this week is Satin Pothos edition! This plant boasts dark green leaves and beautiful silver streaks. You’ll also understand how to source and replicate tissue culture protocols so that you can pursue micropropagation as a budding plant scientist.
The workshop fee is $250. This covers instruction, the materials used in class, as well as your take-home kit!
Required lab attire for safety: Long pants and closed-toed shoes.
Unable to attend? Interested in other classes like plant genetic engineering, bioluminescent algae, and DNA fundamentals? Join our to hear about upcoming workshops!
