Abstract
A facility for plant tissue culture operations involving any type of in vitro procedures must include certain essential elements (Street 1977; Thorpe 1981; Evans et al. 1983; Vasil 1984; Kyle 1987; Torres 1989). The overall design and traffic patterns must focus on maintaining aseptic conditions. The specific design can vary. The size and proportion of the different parts of the facility will be dictated by the function, purpose, and size of the operation. Many facilities have been developed through renovations and modifications of existing rooms and buildings. Other facilities have been specially designed for inclusion in new buildings. The latter offers many advantages.
