Hark Orchideen – Tour
Curious? We would be pleased to take you on a small virtual “tour”: Which way do the orchid laboratory plants take before they are delivered to our customers? Take a look at the laboratory kitchen, the cup storage, one of our laboratories with the clean benches, the air-conditioned storage and the shipping area.
OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT STAGES
-
Station 1Laboratory Kitchen
- The basis for our successful orchid propagation are self-developed culture media. The ingredients are sterilized in 9 ultra-modern media processors. The still liquid culture media are filled into gamma sterilised cups under sterile conditions. The filling quantity is controlled by photocells.
