General description
Application
G-418 is also used to eliminate contaminating fibroblasts from mixed cultures.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Antimicrobial Spectrum: G418 selects for cells stably transfected with an iNOS promoter construct and neomycin resistance gene and shows activity against protozoa and helminthes.
Features and Benefits
- Convenient sterile-filtered solution for immediate use – saves valuable time and effort, and avoids potential errors arising from the preparation of sterile working stock solution from G-418 powder.
- Consistent quality and potency – shows no lot-to-lot variation in its ability to select resistant cells.
- Function tested in a cell culture assay - ensures effectiveness.
- Very pure, as indicated by TLC and microbiological assays – allows you to use less antibiotic while producing greater selection pressure. Lack of contaminants means minimal toxicity.
- Cost effective, since the selected colonies are stable.
