Gentamicin solution
Gentamicin solution (CAS: 1405-41-0) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. This sterile-filtered liquid formulation, containing 50 mg/mL in deionized water, is primarily used as a selection agent in molecular biology and eukaryotic cell culture to confer gentamicin resistance. Its potent antibacterial properties make it a valuable tool in research settings for maintaining cell line purity and controlling microbial contamination. TSS ensures reliable supply for scientific applications.
Cell Culture Selection
Used as a selection agent in eukaryotic cell culture to isolate or maintain cells that have been genetically modified to express gentamicin resistance. The solution is typically added to cell culture media to prevent the growth of contaminating bacteria.
Molecular Biology
Serves as an antibiotic selection marker in genetic engineering and molecular cloning experiments. It is crucial for selecting recombinant cells that have successfully incorporated foreign DNA containing a gentamicin resistance gene.
Antibacterial Agent
Employed for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, aiding in the prevention and control of microbial contamination in laboratory settings.
