Product Description
Save time on routine media prep with a tetracycline stock that is ready the moment you need it. This reagent-grade tetracycline hydrochloride comes at 10 mg/ml in ethanol for selecting resistant bacterial strains, eliminating the weighing and dissolving steps and giving uniform working concentrations across plates and cultures.
This listing is for catalog number A1004-25: Tetracycline Hydrochloride, 10 mg/mL in Ethanol. Tetracycline prevents bacterial protein synthesis by binding the 30S ribosomal subunit and is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Resistance is provided by the tet gene product, which changes the cell membrane and how the antibiotic is transported into the cell. Use it to select plasmids or strains carrying tet markers. Available as a single 5 ml vial or a five-vial pack. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your bench stocked.
