Highveld Biotech specializes in the manufacturing of high quality plant tissue culture media formulations and provides contract plant micropropagation services.

The commercial application of tissue culture techniques ('micropropagation') has dramatically diversified the scope and potential of the vegetative propagation of plants.
 
Tissue culture techniques provide a powerful tool for extending the regenerative processes (that are inherent in all plants) to a broad range of cells and tissues. This is possible in many, if not all plant species. Since the vectors of systemic disease are excluded from the sterile laboratory environment, in vitro techniques are eminently suited for rapid propagation and storage of high yielding disease-free plants. Within three decades, plant tissue culture has progressed from a research technique to a method of mass propagating many of selected species within commercial laboratories.
