PAN-Biotech Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution (10,000 U/ml Penicillin, 10 mg/ml Streptomycin)

Introduction PAN-Biotech Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution contains 10,000 U/ml Penicillin and 10 mg/ml Streptomycin. The antibiotics penicillin and streptomycin are used to prevent bacterial contamination of cell cultures to due their effective combined action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Penicillin was originally purified from the fungus Penicillium and acts by interfering directly with the turnover of the bacterial cell wall and indirectly by triggering the release of enzymes that further alter the cell wall. Streptomycin was originally purified from Streptomyces griseus. It acts by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and death in susceptible bacteria. Application Penicillin-Streptomycin, also known as Pen-Strep, is used to supplement cell culture media to control bacterial contamination. It is recommended for use in cell culture applications at 10 µL/ml. Composition Components Concentration  Stre
