Product Description
Tetracycline Hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from Streptomyces aureofaciens. It inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA. Due to its well-characterized mechanism of action and effectiveness against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, it is a valuable tool in microbiological, molecular, and biochemical research.
 
Applications
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing: Evaluate bacterial resistance in lab strains
Molecular biology research: Used as a selective agent in tetracycline-regulated gene expression systems
Microbiological media supplementation: Enhances the selectivity of growth media
Pharmacological studies: Investigate the mode of action of antibiotics
Veterinary and agricultural research: Monitor antibiotic efficacy in controlled settings
 
Safety & Handling
Hazards: May cause skin or eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.
Regulatory Status: For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
