Kanamycin solution from Streptomyces kanamyceticus
Kanamycin solution from Streptomyces kanamyceticus (CAS: 25389-94-0) is a sterile-filtered, bio-reagent grade aminoglycoside antibiotic. Supplied at 10 mg/mL in 0.9% NaCl, it is pH adjusted to 6.5-8.5 and is suitable for cell culture applications. This solution is used as a selective agent in microbiological media and for the selection of transformed plant cells and resistant cell lines. Its endotoxin-tested nature makes it ideal for sensitive biological research.

- Kanamycin A,Kanamycin sulfate salt

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.

| Application | Kanamycin sulfate is a broad spectrum aminoglycoside-antibiotic derived from Streptomyces kanamyceticus. It is used as an additive in culture media for the isolation of group D streptococci on Kanamycin Esculin Azide Agar and for selection of transformed plant cells containing the neomycin phosphotransferase on a kanamycin-medium. Kanamycin sulfate can also be used as a selection agent for cells transformed with kanamycin B resistance gene. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 2 mL/L. |
