Description
GoldBio’s Spectinomycin Dihydrochloride Pentahydrate EZ Pak™ streamlines the preparation of sterile spectinomycin stock solutions with convenience and ease. No manual weighing or calculations needed to get consistent, sterile stock solution every time.
Each EZ Pak™ contains GoldBio’s high-quality pre-weighed spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate, a sterile filter, and a sterile container, allowing you to quickly prepare a sterile, accurately concentrated 100 mg/mL solution.
The EZ Pak™ format ensures consistent concentration, simplified preparation, and built-in sterility, making it suited for molecular biology labs, shared research environments, and applications that depend on reliable antibiotic-based selection.
Spectinomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic commonly used as a selectable marker in bacterial cloning systems. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking translocation during translation. Because spectinomycin resistance genes are widely incorporated into plasmid vectors, particularly in cloning and plant research systems, it is frequently used to maintain selective pressure in E. coli and related bacterial hosts.
Key Benefits
Pre-Weighed for Accuracy and Convenience – Eliminates measurement errors, and makes sterile stock solution preparation quick and easy.
Time Savings – Add sterile water, filter, and the stock is ready.
Consistent 100 mg/mL Concentration – Reliable dilution into working media.
Effective Selectable Marker Support – Commonly used in plasmid-based cloning systems.
Standardized Across Users – Ideal for multi-researcher laboratories.
