Chloramphenicol Antibiotic – CAS# 56-75-7
Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Cell Culture Applications
Chloramphenicol antibiotic (CAS# 56-75-7) is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in cell culture media. Effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including anaerobic organisms, it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by blocking the peptidyl transferase activity of the 50S ribosomal subunit. This makes it an essential tool for maintaining sterile conditions in a variety of laboratory settings.
Key Features of Chloramphenicol Antibiotic
- Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against a wide range of bacteria, including anaerobes.
- Flexible Usage: Ideal for stringent and relaxed plasmid preparations, with working concentrations of 25 µg/ml and 170 µg/ml, respectively.
- Convenient Preparation: Easily dissolved in ethanol to create a stock solution of 34 mg/ml, eliminating the need for sterilization when prepared in ethanol.
Important: This product is for laboratory use only and cannot be shipped to private residences.
Enhance your cell culture workflows with high-quality chloramphenicol antibiotic for reliable contamination control.
