Product Information
| Description: | Streptomycin is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds strongly to nucleic acids, thereby interfering with and blocking protein synthesis while allowing continued synthesis of RNA and DNA. In addition, Streptomycin is a blocker of stretch-activated and mechanosensitive ion channels in neurons and cardiomyocytes, and is a commonly used culture medium antibiotic. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
