HI, I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT THE MESSAGES THAT CAME IN DURING THE LAST
DAYS...I COULDN'T FIND TIME TO LOG IN FOR MORE THAT A WEEK.
IN FACT DIFCO MAINLY SUPPLIES ITEMS FOR ANIMAL TISSUE CULTURE, BUT
'DIFCO BACTO AGAR'IS WIDELY USED BY PLANT TISSUE CULTURISTS, TOO.
UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCES WITH THAT AGAR TYPE AS
I MOSTLY USE 'MERCK' AGAR (GERMAN COMPANY, I DON'T KNOW IF THEIR
PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE USA).
