Agargellan is a proprietary blend of agar and gellan gum. It combines the best characteristics of both agar and gellan gum; however, gellan gum will form a gel in the presence of mono- or divalent cations; the latter being more efficient, e.g., calcium, magnesium and therefore

Agargellan is not recommended for use with DKW (9.3 mM Ca++) or other media e.g., Quoirin & Lepoivre Basal Salt Mixture containing high calcium levels as they have shown to produce a soft and cloudy gel.

Agargellan is useful in applications:
1) When plants are sensitive to inhibitors in agar
2) When plants exhibit hyperhydricity when cultured in gellan gum, or
3) When an increased clarity of the gel is desired over that of agar

Store at Room Temperature.
