01 /Applications

Selective Agent in Microbiology

Used as an additive in culture media, such as Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar, for the isolation of group D Streptococci. It is also employed for the selection of transformed plant cells exhibiting resistance.

Electrophysiology Research

Kanamycin has been utilised in electrophysiological studies to investigate the function of inner and outer hair cells.

Plant Tissue Culture

Recommended for use in cell culture applications to inhibit unwanted shoot regeneration from explants, for example, from Siberian Elm.

02 /Properties

Impurities tested	≤4% Kanamycin B
Application	Kanamycin sulfate is a broad spectrum minoglycoside-antibiotic It is used as an additive in culture media for the isolation of group D Streptococci on Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar (Mossel et al.) or for selection of transformed plant cells containing the neomycin phosphotransferase (for kanamycin resistance); on a kanamycin-medium1,2. Kanamycin has been used for electrophysiological recordings of outer hair cells and inner hair cells3. It is used to inhibit shoot regeneration from Siberian Elmleaf explants4. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 100 mg/mL.
