Description

Gentamicin A2 CAS NO 55715-66-7 is a specific component of the Gentamicin antibiotic complex, a crucial aminoglycoside. This compound is valued for its potent bactericidal activity, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria, making it a key intermediate and reference standard in pharmaceutical development. It is primarily required by manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and veterinary medicine sectors for the production, quality control, and research of antibiotic formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): A critical component in the synthesis and formulation of broad-spectrum antibiotic injections and topical preparations.
• Reference Standard for Quality Control: Used in analytical laboratories for the identification and quantification of Gentamicin components via HPLC, LC-MS, or microbiological assays.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in microbiological studies to investigate mechanisms of action, bacterial resistance, and for in-vitro susceptibility testing.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into treatments for bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Cell Culture Applications: Used as a selective agent in microbiological media and certain cell culture systems to prevent bacterial contamination.
