Why We Exist
Plants face threats from pathogens, geography, and instability. Traditional propagation cannot always protect valuable genetics or scale production effectively. Tissue culture provides the solution.
We help our clients:
- Secure and scale crops & rare/exotic plant lines
- Remove pathogens & viroids such as HLVd from cannabis genetics
- Support pharma, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries with reliable phytochemical production
- Learn state-of-the-art techniques through expert-led training
Our Vision
To be Africa’s leader in plant biotechnology, delivering innovative, sustainable, and science-driven solutions that protect biodiversity, support growers, and shape the future of plants.
At Tissue Culture Labs, we don’t just grow plants. We grow biotech solutions.
