Opis towaru

G 418, or Geneticin, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic from Micromonospora rhodorangea. The antibiotic is used for the selection and maintenance of eukaryotic cells expressing the neomycin resistance gene (neo). G 418 blocks polypeptide synthesis by inhibiting the elongation step. It is similar in structure to gentamycin B1 but active against both bacteria and eukaryotes.
Stock solution, for cell culture, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
