01 /Applications

Selective Agent in Culture Media

Kanamycin solution is utilized as an additive in culture media, such as Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar, for the selective isolation of specific bacterial groups like group D streptococci.

Plant Cell Selection

This solution serves as a selection agent for plant cells that have been successfully transformed to contain the neomycin phosphotransferase gene, enabling growth on kanamycin-supplemented media.

Mammalian Cell Culture

Recommended for use in cell culture at a concentration of 2 mL/L, this sterile-filtered kanamycin solution aids in selecting for cells transformed with the kanamycin B resistance gene.

Biochemical Research

As an endotoxin-tested bio-reagent, it is employed in various biochemical research applications where precise antibiotic activity is required without the interference of endotoxins.
