Tribioscience Gentamicin Solution (TBS8049)

Gentamicin sulfate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It inhibits the growth of a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms, including strains resistant to tetracycline, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, and colistin, particularly strains of Pseudomonas, Proteus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Gentamicin sulfate inhibits bacterial protein biosynthesis by binding to the 30S subunit of the ribosome.

Gentamicin solution is sterile-filtered and prepared to contain 50 mg/ml of gentamicin in deionized water. It is cell culture tested and is appropriate for use in cell culture applications.

The generally recommended working concentration is 50 µg/ml for eukaryotic cell culture and 15 µg/ml for prokaryotic cells.
