Gentamicin Sulfate, EP is an aminoglycoside antibiotic complex discovered in 1963 derived from fermentation of Micromonospora purpurea or Micromonospora echinospora. Gentamicin is composed of different components including Gentamicin C complex (Gentamicin C1, Gentamicin C1a, and Gentamicin C2) which makes up 80% of the compound and has the highest antibacterial activity, along with Gentamicin A, B, X, and a few others which make up the remaining 20% of Gentamicin and have lower antibiotic activity. Gentamicin Sulfate is suitable for use in cell culture to prevent and control bacterial contamination. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) DSR-052-04 includes the addition of Gentamicin Sulfate to viral transport media for SARS-CoV2 samples.
Gentamicin Sulfate, EP is soluble in water.
Gentamicin Sulfate, EP conforms to European Pharmacopoeia specifications.
