Description

Streptocin CAS NO 1404-67-7 is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic complex, primarily consisting of streptomycin. It is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and research compound valued for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against gram-negative and some gram-positive organisms. This product is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and diagnostic kit producers requiring a reliable source of high-purity antibiotic material.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Core ingredient in the formulation of injectable antibiotic drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis, brucellosis, plague, and other bacterial infections.
• Microbiological Research: Used as a selective agent in cell culture media to prevent bacterial contamination in eukaryotic cell lines.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in treatments for bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Agricultural Applications: Historically used for controlling bacterial diseases in certain crops, though use is now highly regulated.
• Diagnostic Manufacturing: A key component in the production of culture media and diagnostic reagents for clinical microbiology laboratories.
