RPI Kanamycin SuLfate Solution, 25 mL (5 X 5 mL)

Kanamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding 70S ribosomes resuLting in dysfunctional translation of mRNA. Kanamycin is effective against both Gram (-) and Gram (+) bacteria. Resistance to kanamycin is conferred by an aminoglycoside phosphotransferase that modifies the antibiotic, preventing its interaction with ribosomes. Kanamycin is commonly used to select for cosmid vectors.

Convenient: Ready-to-use 35 mg/ml Kanamycin SuLfate Solution.
Ultra-Pure: Purity ≥ 98%. Ideal for amplifying plasmids, cosmids, and BAC/PACs in E. coli.
