Culture Bag, Star*Pac, 9 x 6 inches, 5-chamber
Star*Pac® bags are versatile, disposable bags for plant tissue culture. These bags are autoclavable growth and transport containers that provide gas exchange, yet retain moisture. The Star*Pac film is semipermeable, rather than porous, preventing microorganisms from passing through a heat-sealed bag.
Star*Pac bags support many applications, including:
- Plant tissue culture
- Germplasm preservation
- Long-term plant storage
- Bacterial and fungal cultures
- Plant transportation
Advantages of using Star*Pac bags:
- Space saving
- Prolonged culture storage: plant cultures have survived for over a year with no maintenance under standard culture room conditions
- Easy and economical when transporting live plants
- Cost effective to ship in bulk compared to standard culture vessels (2,000 bags in one case vs. 100-250 vessels)
Instructions for filling (please see the Related Documents tab for more information):
- Open the upper portion of the chamber with a slight twist between thumb and forefinger.
- Insert the pipet into the opening and dispense the media (5-20 mL per chamber for the five chamber bag, or 50-100 mL for the two chamber bag).
Instructions for sterilization:
- Insert 10-15 filled Star*Pac bags into a paper bag or other autoclavable, steam permeable container.
- Fold the top of the bag down several times and seal with a piece of autoclave tape.
- Load the autoclave with the paper bags and operate under customary settings for liquid sterilization (i.e., 121 °C @ 15 psi for 15 minutes).
- Post-autoclaving, the sealed bags should be taken to a clean counter, or hood, to allow the media to cool before use.
Instructions for sealing:
The recommended sealing method involves the use of an 8 or 12 inch heat sealer. The sealer should be left under the hood to ensure it remains in the aseptic work environment.
- Have the unit turned on and ready to use prior to critical aseptic operations. The recommended heat setting for the unit is between 4 and 5, although the optimal setting may vary from instrument to instrument.
- Lift the handle of the sealer and place the open end of the chambers across the sealing strip (the printing at the top can be used as a reference point for the seal).
- Lower the handle of the heat sealer over the top of the Star*Pac bag.
- To ensure a good seal, observe the red indicator light on the heat sealer. Do not lift the handle too quickly: allow a few seconds for the seal to cool before lifting the handle.
