QUICK LINKS
Ampicillin sodium salt, cell culture grade is a beta-lactam antibiotic within the penicillin family. As a member of this family, it is susceptible to beta-lactamase, which hydrolyzes the beta-lactam ring. This broad spectrum antibiotic is effective against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria. Ampicillin sodium salt, cell culture grade is widely used in cell culture as a selective agent. As an antibiotic, it binds to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) on a susceptible organism and inhibits cell wall synthesis by interfering with the enzymes responsible for the formation of the organism′s cell wall. After binding to the PBPs, Ampicillin sodium salt, cell culture grade acts as a structural analogue of acyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine, acylates the transpeptidase enzyme, and thereby prevents the cross-linking of the peptidoglycan of the cell wall necessary for the growth of the bacterium. Potency: ≥ 845 µg Ampicillin/mg (anhydrous)
