About Us
Specialist plant tissue culture, driven by science and conservation
In Vitro Microplants Ltd is an independent Scottish plant biotechnology company specialising in the micropropagation of woody plants, ornamental trees and conservation-priority species.
Founded and led by a plant tissue-culture specialist with extensive laboratory management experience, the company combines scientific knowledge with practical propagation expertise to develop solutions for challenging plant species.
Our work spans commercial plant multiplication, conservation propagation, protocol development and applied research, with particular expertise in establishing and maintaining difficult woody plant cultures.
We collaborate with commercial nurseries, botanical gardens, conservation organisations and research institutions to support the production of valuable plant material.
Our projects include Scottish wych elm conservation, Dutch elm disease-resistant cultivars, rare Arran whitebeams and commercially valuable ornamental trees.
Our approach
We believe successful micropropagation requires more than multiplying plants in sterile vessels. It involves understanding each species, refining culture conditions and developing reliable methods for rooting, acclimatisation and nursery establishment.
By combining laboratory research with practical nursery experience, we aim to bridge the gap between plant biotechnology and commercial growing.
Our mission
To make specialist plant propagation more accessible, supporting biodiversity, plant conservation and sustainable nursery production through practical biotechnology.
