Description
Spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate is an antibiotic that is commonly used in the life science marketplace.
Spectinomycin dihydrochloride pentahydrate finds applications in various fields such as research, molecular biology, and biotechnology. It is commonly used as a selective agent in cell culture systems and is added to growth media to prevent the growth of bacteria that may contaminate cell lines.
Also, it is particularly effective against certain strains of gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, which ultimately leads to their death. Its selective action makes it valuable for maintaining sterile conditions and selecting cells that have taken up foreign genetic material in molecular biology experiments.
