Chloramphenicol Antibiotic - CAS# 56-75-7

Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Cell Culture Applications

Chloramphenicol antibiotic (CAS# 56-75-7) is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in cell culture media. Effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including anaerobic organisms, it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by blocking the peptidyl transferase activity of the 50S ribosomal subunit. This makes it an essential tool for maintaining sterile conditions in a variety of laboratory settings.

Features of Chloramphenicol Antibiotic:

• Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against a wide range of bacteria, including anaerobes.
• Flexible Usage: Ideal for stringent and relaxed plasmid preparations, with working concentrations of 25 µg/ml and 170 µg/ml, respectively.
• Convenient Preparation: Easily dissolved in ethanol to create a stock solution of 34 mg/ml, eliminating the need for sterilization when prepared in ethanol.

Important: This product is for laboratory use only and cannot be shipped to private residences.

Enhance your cell culture workflows with high-quality chloramphenicol antibiotic for reliable contamination control.

Chloramphenicol antibiotic dissolves best in alcohol or benzene. It does not dissolve well in water. A stock solution in alcohol should be made at 10 mg/ml and then diluted with water to 1 mg/ml. Stock solutions made up of strictly water (0.25% = 7.7 mM) will degrade in sunlight, UV light or tungsten light at or near room temp over a period of 96 hours. It does NOT degrade when dissolved in alcohol or benzene.
