Description
Gibberellic Acid, also called Gibberellin A3, is a plant hormone in the family of gibberellins, a large class of naturally ocuring tetracyclic diterpene acids which promote cell growth and development. In small concentrations, GA3 is a potent, dihydroxylated gibberellin which commonly used in the triggering of seed germination, stem differentiation and plant maturation.GA3 is widely used to promote the production of larger grape bunches or the induction of other fruit without pollination or seed development.
Gibberellic Acid 3 is a growth regulator.
Quick-DissolveTM Gibberellic Acid is a special formulation developed at GoldBio that dissolves more easily in water than standard gibberellic Acid. In our lab, KOH is not required to drive the Quick-DissolveTM Gibberellic Acid into solution.

Storage/Handling
Store powder at room temperature. Store liquid at 4°C.
Gibberellic Acid is soluble in water and should be sterilized by filtration.
Working Concentration
Gibberellic Acid 3 is commonly stored in a 1 mg/ml stock solution for up to 1 year at either 4°C or -20°C.
Working concentrations typically range from 0.01 mg/ml up to 5 mg/ml and should be remade daily.
