Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plant tissue culture and biotechnology. More specifically, it pertains to a polypropylene tissue culture container featuring an innovative slider-enabled labeling lid that incorporates an integrated schedule indicator for effectively managing and tracking experimental conditions during in vitro plant propagation.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] The field of plant tissue culture has evolved significantly over the years, driven by advances in biotechnology and an increasing understanding of plant biology. Plant tissue culture refers to the in vitro cultivation of plant cells, tissues, or organs under sterile conditions, enabling researchers and horticulturists to produce a large number of genetically identical plants. This method is vital for a variety of applications, including plant breeding, conservation of endangered species, and mass propagation of plants with desirable traits. The history of plant tissue culture dates back to the 19th century when researchers initially employed glass test tubes fitted with caps for the proliferation of root and shoot tissues from explants (Mineo, 1990). As the demand for more efficient and effective propagation methods grew, disposable and pre-sterilized Petri plates and jars emerged as popular labware choices for culturing plant tissues. Various types of labware-including test tubes, Petri plates, Erlenmeyer flasks, and jars-can be adapted to meet the specific needs of sterile plant tissue culture.
[0004] Importance of Plant Tissue Culture
[0005] Plant tissue culture is recognized as a crucial tool for the continuous production and isolation of bioactive compounds, such as secondary metabolites and engineered molecules. It allows researchers to cultivate plants independently of geographical limitations, reducing reliance on wild populations, which is essential for the conservation of endangered plant species and the preservation of genetic diversity. Additionally, tissue culture methods have proved beneficial for rapid production of economically important plant species, particularly in horticulture and agriculture (Espinosa-Leal, 2018; Hasnain et al., 2022). The importance of these practices cannot be overstated, especially in an era where environmental changes and habitat destruction threaten plant diversity.
[0006] In routine plant tissue culture, autoclavable polypropylene jars with lids are standard for various procedures, ensuring sterility and preventing contamination. These jars come in various shapes and sizes, including round-bottomed and square-bottomed options, to accommodate different laboratory requirements. Traditional lids typically feature threaded designs, allowing them to be securely fitted onto the mouth of the jar. However, despite their effectiveness, current labeling practices pose significant challenges. Researchers often rely on marker pens or hand labeling methods to record essential experimental parameters, such as the date, time, and duration of photoperiods and dark periods. Unfortunately, these methods can be unreliable, as markings may fade, smudge, or become unreadable over time, leading to potential errors in experimental data and outcomes.
[0007] Limitations of Traditional Labeling Methods
[0008] The existing methods for labeling tissue culture containers are fraught with drawbacks. Manual labeling techniques do not guarantee permanence; the ink from marker pens may fade or smudge, resulting in lost information and increased chances of mislabeling. Such errors can lead to inconsistencies in experimental conditions, particularly when multiple samples are processed simultaneously. For researchers tracking various experimental variables, the confusion and potential for errors in labeling can be costly, both in terms of time and resources. Additionally, the need to meticulously maintain labels throughout an experiment can be burdensome for laboratory personnel, detracting from their ability to focus on more critical aspects of research.
[0009] Furthermore, these traditional methods do not allow for real-time updates or adjustments, making it difficult to manage the in vitro environment effectively. Researchers often face challenges in maintaining accurate tracking of critical parameters, such as media changes, sub-culturing intervals, and treatment schedules. In environments where precise documentation is vital for the reproducibility of results, these limitations highlight the need for an innovative labeling solution.
