Gentamicin Sulfate
Molecular biology grade Gentamicin Sulfate by Canvax, used for bacterial selection in cloning workflows.
Gentamicin Sulfate is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic widely used in molecular biology and cell culture. Originally isolated from Micromonospora species in 1963, it exhibits potent bactericidal activity against Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria, and some mycoplasmas. Its mechanism of action relies on binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to inhibition of protein synthesis in susceptible microorganisms. Due to its high quality and lot-to-lot consistency, Canvax Gentamicin Sulfate is a reliable choice for researchers requiring stringent performance standards in their experiments.
