Master cultures

A master culture is the slant or plate you keep as stock and transfer from, rather than use up. Like a mother line in tissue culture, it's a role you switch on.

Pro plan

1. Open the culture and choose Make master culture. It gets a purple Master culture badge.
2. Not a master takes the role off again.

• The Cultures tab shows Master cultures as cards above the list, with how many transfers each has given.
• All cultures / Masters filters the list. Masters sort to the top.
• Cultures transferred from a master say so on their page and in the list.
