Hello,
I am going to prepare a medium with tebuconazole? It is my first time to work on this fungicide.
I want to know whether tebuconazole is thermalstable and can be autoclaved?
Best wishes
Zha
Yes! you can autoclaved it without degrading its property Hong-Guang Zha
No need to autoclave or sterilize fungicide. We can use it directly for in-vitro study. If autoclave fungicidal activity could destroy and will not get proper results.
In my opinion, I don't prefer autoclaving any fungicide or antibiotic, because the most of fungicides and antibiotics are not thermal stable. So, they were destroyed by heating.
Dear Dr Hong-Guang Zha . It should be stored in temperature between 50 F - 70F and not above 100F according to the following very useful link : https://www.theturftrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tebuconazole-3-6f1d-label.pdf
Some antibiotics can be added before autoclaving such as chloramphenicol (about 100 mg per liter), because it's not affected by autoclave temperature. Therefore you can use it as a safe antibiotic.
Fungicides must not been autoclaved, but they can be used directly without autoclaving. They have been added to the medium after autoclaving under sterile conditions.
