Chloramphenicol (USP Grade)

Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Laboratory Research Use

Catalog Number: AS-2042
CAS Number: 56-75-7

Overview

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic supplied as an off-white to light yellow crystalline powder. In laboratory research settings, it is widely used for microbiological studies, selective media preparation, and molecular biology workflows requiring controlled inhibition of bacterial growth.

The compound acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis via interaction with the 50S ribosomal subunit, making it a well-characterised tool for research involving antimicrobial activity, resistance mechanisms, and contamination control in experimental systems.

Ausamics Chloramphenicol (USP Grade) is manufactured to deliver high purity, consistent performance, and reproducible results for laboratory use.
