General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Recommended for use in molecular biology applications at 20-50 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of Action: This is a ß-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane.

Mode of Resistance: Administration with ß-lactamase cleaves the ß-lactam ring of Ampicillin and inactivates it.

Antimicrobial Spectrum: Includes both gram-positive (similar to benzylpenicillin) and gram-negative bacteria (similar to tetracyclines and chloramphenicol.

Reconstitution

Prepare stock solutions directly in the vial at any concentration in the recommended range. Stock solutions should be stored at −20 °C. Stable at 37 °C for 3 days.

Analysis Note

USP potency testing is carried out on control vials after γ-irradiation to assure full biological activity (except where noted).
