Antibiotic Products
We offer a wide selection of ready-made, sterile-filtered antibiotic solutions for use in a variety of applications.
Antibiotics prevent antimicrobial growth by interfering with the enzymes involved in cellular processes such as protein synthesis, cell wall synthesis and nucleic acid metabolism. In life science research, antibiotic solutions are utilized in cancer research experiments, cell culture and plasmid selection. MP Bio offers a complete range of antibiotic solutions to meet your specific research needs.

Antibiotics for Cell Culture and Cell Selection
Antibiotics are biochemicals that can kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. The mechanism of action for each antibiotic varies, but can include disrupting cell wall synthesis, preventing nucleic acid metabolism, disturbing the microorganisms’ ability to synthesize proteins, and disrupting membrane structure. While some antibiotics specifically target gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, others possess a mechanism of action that is active against both. The major classes of antibiotics include: penicillins, tetracyclines, macrolides, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides.
