PhytoTechnology Laboratories® was founded in 1997 by Dr. Kenneth and Janet Torres, with the goal of providing a premier source for quality plant tissue culture media, and biochemical and reagents for plant sciences. Initially, PhytoTechnology Laboratories provided plant tissue culture products to universities and micropropagation labs solely in North America. Today, PhytoTechnology Laboratories now provides products to university, government, agbiotech biopharmaceutical and micropropagation customers throughout the world, either directly or through one of twenty-seven international distributors.
