General description
In cell biology and biochemical research, Cycloheximide showcases a dual nature concerning Apoptosis Induction, inducing or inhibiting apoptosis depending on the cell type. Its rapid and reversible effects make it an ideal choice for studying cellular processes and determining protein half-life. Cycloheximide also finds extensive applications in biomedical research, where it inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells studied in vitro (outside of organisms) and its effects are rapidly reversed by simply removing it. This makes Cycloheximide a go-to choice for exploring cell biology, biomedical and biochemical research, offering precise control and versatility in experiments.
Application
- In yeast strains, cycloheximide has been used as a protein synthesis inhibitor in the cycloheximide chase experiment.
- It has been used to inhibit translation in mammalian cells.
- It has been used to suppress fungal growth.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
