Ampicillin, Sodium Salt is a semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotic effective against a broad range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Supplied as a powder, it is commonly used in molecular biology, microbiology, and genetic engineering. It serves as a selective agent in plasmid-based cloning and helps prevent bacterial contamination in cell cultures. By inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, it ensures the purity of cultures and enables selection of Ampicillin-resistant strains. Key features include broad-spectrum activity, DNase/RNase-free quality, and good stability in aqueous solution, allowing for flexible handling.
