Product Description
Selecting kanamycin-resistant clones gets easier when the stock is already made. This kanamycin sulfate solution is supplied at 35 mg/ml, so it can go straight into media for plates or liquid cultures, cutting out powder handling and keeping concentrations consistent across experiments and lab members.
This listing is for catalog number A1003-25: Kanamycin Sulfate, 35 mg/mL. Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside that binds 70S ribosomes and causes faulty translation of mRNA, killing both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Resistant cells express an aminoglycoside phosphotransferase that modifies the drug so it can no longer act on the ribosome. Kanamycin is widely used to select for cosmid vectors and many other kanR plasmids. Available as a 5 ml vial or a 5 x 5 ml pack. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
Key Features
- Ready-made stock – Supplied at 35 mg/ml to drop directly into media.
- Aminoglycoside activity – Disrupts translation by binding the 70S ribosome.
- Gram-positive and Gram-negative coverage – Effective across a broad range of bacteria.
- Common vector marker – Suited to cosmid and other kanamycin-resistant vector selection.
- Two package sizes – Choose 5 ml or 5 x 5 ml.
