General descriptionCytotoxic concentration: 10,000 IU/ml penicillin, 20 mg/ml streptomycin
Penicillin (Penicillin G) inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis. Streptomycin belongs to the family of aminoglycoside antibiotics, and inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis. Penicillin-Streptomycin is used for the prevention and elimination of bacterial contaminants in cell culture.
Penicillin G, sodium salt; streptomycin sulfate
Sensitive organisms:- Gram-positive bacteria (penicillin)
- Gram-negative bacteria (streptomycin)
- Stability:Penicillin: 3 days
- Streptomycin: 3 days in media at +37 °C
ApplicationPenicillin-Streptomycin has been used for the prevention and elimination of bacterial contaminants in cell culture.
