Description
GoldBio’s Streptomycin Sulfate EZ Pak™ for 100 mg/mL Solution offers a convenient and reproducible way to prepare sterile streptomycin stock solutions in minutes. There is no need for manual weighing or concentration calculations either.
Each EZ Pak™ includes GoldBio’s high-quality pre-weighed streptomycin sulfate, a sterile filter, and a sterile container, which allows you to prepare a sterile, accurately concentrated 100 mg/mL solution quickly and efficiently.
The EZ Pak™ format simplifies antibiotic preparation while maintaining full control over solution sterility and concentration, making it perfect for busy research labs, shared facilities, labs that have extremely limited time, or when consistency and contamination control are critical.
Streptomycin is a well-established aminoglycoside antibiotic widely used in microbiology and cell culture applications. It functions by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, disrupting protein synthesis and leading to bacterial cell death.
Because of its activity against many Gram-negative and select Gram-positive organisms, streptomycin is commonly used to suppress bacterial growth. It is also frequently combined with penicillin in cell culture systems to broaden antimicrobial coverage.
