Primocin™
The Antimicrobial Shield for Your Primary Cells
Description
Primocin™ is an antibiotic formulation active against both Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, mycoplasmas and fungi.
Primocin™ is the first formulation to offer complete protection against microbial contaminants. There is no need to add Pen/Strep.
Primocin™ was specifically designed to protect primary cell lines from cell culture contaminations, but is also active on other cell lines.
Primocin™ is non-toxic to primary cells. It acts on targets found only in micro-organisms. Bacterial targets are the DNA gyrase and the prokaryotic ribosomal subunits, 30S and 50S. The fungal target is ergosterol, a molecule only found in the cell membrane of fungi and yeasts.
Primocin™ is a sterile water soluble solution that can be added directly to the cell culture medium. The solution is at 50 mg/ml and the recommended working concentration is 100 μg/ml.
Contents
Primocin™ is provided as a sterile light yellow solution at a concentration of 50 mg/ml. Primocin™ is available in 1 ml vials or 20 ml bottles. One ml Primocin™ is enough to treat 500 ml medium.
Primocin™ is shipped at room temperature and upon receipt should be stored at -20°C. Primocin™ is stable one month at 4°C and 18 months at -20°C.
