Description
This 100X Penicillin-Streptomycin solution effectively prevents bacterial contamination in cell cultures by inhibiting both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Penicillin (5,000 U/mL) disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, while streptomycin (5,000 µg/mL) binds the 30S ribosomal subunit to block protein synthesis. Their synergistic action delivers broad-spectrum antibacterial protection, ensuring a sterile environment for cell culture systems.
