Description

Guanamycin CAS NO 77536-24-4 is a specialized antibiotic compound belonging to the aminoglycoside class. It is valued for its potent activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, making it a critical component in microbiological research and development. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural sectors who require a reliable, high-purity antibiotic for applications ranging from cell culture media supplementation to the study of bacterial resistance mechanisms.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a selective agent in cell culture media for the production of recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies.
• Microbiological Studies: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in studies investigating bacterial susceptibility, antibiotic efficacy, and resistance patterns.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Employed in plant tissue culture as a bactericidal agent to prevent contamination in transgenic plant development.
• Veterinary Medicine: A key ingredient in the formulation of topical ointments and injectable solutions for treating bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Industrial Fermentation: Acts as a preservative and anti-contaminant in specific fermentation processes to ensure culture purity.
• Diagnostic Manufacturing: Incorporated into culture plates and diagnostic kits used for bacterial identification in clinical and food safety laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Guanamycin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, potency, and microbiological activity are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants.
