    Gentamicin C2b Sulfate, EvoPure®

    $913.67

    Gentamicin C2b Sulfate, EvoPure® is one of several components in the Gentamicin C complex, along with Gentamicin C1 and C1a, the group C complex comprising ~ 80% of Gentamicin and has the highest degree of antimicrobial activity. The higher antimicrobial activity of the group C Gentamicins is thought to arise from the lack of hydroxy groups on the 3’ and 4’ positions of the purpurosamine (2-amino-hexose) fragments.

    EvoPure® products have been fully characterized by spectral analysis and are shipped with a comprehensive certificate of analysis containing lot-specific HPLC, MS, HNMR, and FTIR data.

    Mechanism of Action Aminoglycosides target the 30S ribosomal subunit resulting in an inability to read mRNA ultimately producing a faulty or nonexistent protein.
    Spectrum Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic; however, it is mostly used to treat infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It is effective against several strains of Mycoplasma.
    Microbiology Applications Gentamicin EvoPure® compounds can be used to study effects of individual Gentamicin components on various bacterial strains.
