Kanamycin Sulfate

Kanamycin Sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic with activity against many Gram-negative bacteria. It works by binding to the ribosomal subunit and inhibiting protein synthesis. Kanamycin is often used as a selective agent for the incorporation of Neomycin phophotransferase (APH3') gene in plant and animal cells.

Kanamycin Sulphate is provided a Biotechnology Grade powder with a potency of >750 U/mg. For best results, sterilize any aqueous solutions via filtration before use in cell culture. bioWORLD offers a number of ready-to-use sterile Kanamycin solutions for your convenience. Just add directly to liquid cell culture medium or to agar while cooling. To save time, use any one of our pre-prepared agar plates containing Kanamycin.

bioWORLD is unique in offering a conjugation of Kanamycin with KLH for use in ELISA. Kanamycin::BSA Conjugate is effective in detecting Kanamycin-specific antibodies in immunohistochemistry applications.

bioWORLD's products are supplied for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as a drug, agricultural or pesticidal product, food additive or as a household chemical.
