Product descriptionG-418 (Geneticin) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used as a selection agent for prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in research. Resistance is conferred by specific resistance genes naturally present in some bacterial strains or introduced by transfection in eukaryotic cells.
Applications- Cell culture and laboratory research
- Selection and maintenance of genetically modified cell lines
Recommended concentrations- Optimal concentration for selection and maintenance must be determined for each cell line
- Bacteria and algae: 5 µg/ml
- Mammalian eukaryotic cells: 400 µg/ml for selection; 200 µg/ml for maintenance
