Gibco™ Gentamicin (10 mg/mL)

Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Contamination Prevention in Cell Culture Applications

Gibco™ Gentamicin (10 mg/mL) is a sterile-filtered, ready-to-use solution of gentamicin sulfate, a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is widely used in cell culture to prevent bacterial contamination and maintain sterility in research workflows. Gentamicin exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and causing bacterial cell death.
