Product Overview

Rifampicin (also known as Rifampin or Rifamycin AMP) is a well-characterised rifamycin-class antibiotic widely used in molecular biology, microbiology, and antimicrobial resistance research. It functions by inhibiting bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby blocking RNA synthesis and transcription.

Ausamics supplies high-purity Rifampicin suitable for controlled laboratory and in-vitro research applications, including studies on gene expression, transcriptional regulation, plasmid selection, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Manufactured and tested under controlled conditions, Ausamics Rifampicin delivers consistent performance, reproducibility, and reliability for academic, biotech, and life-science research laboratories.
