Gellan Gum LAT is a kind of low acyl gellan gum.The Gel Strength and the transmittance of this product could be adjusted subject to customer’s actual application. This type of gellan gum is special processed for Plant Tissue Culture Medium application and Micro-Organism Tissue Culture. It has widely applied by labs to be as subsitute of Agar Agar.
To avoid bubbles during application, the Nitrogen item and Protein item should be carefully controlled. In order to get a clear gel for a better obversation of Plants Growing, the transparency data for this type of gellan gum is very important.
Main advantages are:Very high transparency (95%) and brittle gels texture; the gels formed by Gellan Gum LAT is heat irreversable.
Typical Dosage: Regular recommended dosage is 0.015%-0.4% subject to different application.
Dispersion & Dissolution:To disperse the product without lumps:Premix the powder with the other dry ingredients, and pour the preparation into the liquid underefficient stirring. Continue stirring to obtain a complete dispersion.or, disperse it in a non-solvent medium (oil or others). The dissolution of the product depends on the medium and the process: it is improved by heat treatment(time, temperature), shear stress(stirrer, homogenizer). A complete dissolution can be rapidly obtained by boiling for 5-10min or at around 85-90℃ for 10-15min with sequestrants.
