Powerful Selection Agent for Genetic EngineeringZeocin is highly effective as a selection and maintenance agent for Zeocin-resistant cell lines in research involving eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems. Its broad compatibility ensures dependable results across a variety of molecular biology protocols, enabling researchers to confidently select for desired phenotypes during cloning and transformation experiments.
Certified Purity and Stringent Quality ControlSupplied at 98% purity and sterile-filtered, Zeocin ensures minimal contamination risk and consistent activity. Each batch is accompanied by a detailed certificate of analysis, confirming critical parameters like potency, endotoxin levels, and compliance with quality standards. This guarantees reproducible results in sensitive biotechnological applications.
Optimal Storage and Handling for StabilityTo maintain Zeocins activity and integrity, it should be stored at -20C, away from light and moisture. Transport is recommended using a cold chain to prevent any degradation. Under proper conditions, Zeocin provides a dependable shelf life of up to 24 months, ensuring product efficiency throughout research cycles.
FAQs of Zeocin:
Q: How should Zeocin be stored to maintain its stability?
A: Zeocin should be stored at -20C, protected from both light and moisture. This ensures optimal stability and preserves its activity over the full 24-month shelf life. Use sealed containers to avoid contamination during storage.
Q: What is the recommended process for dissolving and using Zeocin in cell selection?
A: Dissolve Zeocin in sterile water to a concentration of 10 mg/ml. For selection, apply a working concentration of 25400 g/ml depending on the organism used. Always sterile-filter the solution and use the recommended application concentrations for best results.
Q: When is Zeocin typically used in molecular biology experiments?
A: Zeocin is commonly used during genetic engineering procedures, specifically for selecting and maintaining cell lines that have been engineered to express Zeocin resistance genes. It is suitable for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems.
Q: Where can I obtain the certificate of analysis and structural formula for Zeocin?
A: A certificate of analysis is provided with each batch of Zeocin, which includes detailed quality and purity data. The structural formula can be requested from the distributor or supplier prior to purchase if needed.
Q: What are the benefits of using Zeocin compared to other antibiotics?
A: Zeocin offers broad-spectrum compatibility with both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, a high level of purity (98%), and is easy to handle due to its odorless and stable powder form. Its stringent endotoxin control (<10 EU/mg) makes it highly suitable for sensitive research applications.
Q: How is Zeocin inactivated, and what safety precautions should be taken during use?
A: Zeocin is inactivated by heating. As it is classified as a poisonous substance, always handle with appropriate personal protective equipment and follow safety protocols for hazardous chemicals.
