Ampicillin Trihydrate

Ampicillin Trihydrate is a beta-lactam antibiotic that is effective on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This Penicillin derivative works by inactivating transpeptidases to prevent cell wall synthesis.

For best results, add 20-100 µg/mL of Ultra Pure Ampicillin Trihydrate to your favorite cell culture medium. Ampicillin is often coupled with other antibiotics, such as Vancomycin or Amoxicillin.

Ampicillin Sodium Salt is a popular alternative as it is more soluble in water than the trihydrate form. bioWORLD offers both KLH and BSA conjugated to Ampicillin for ELISA.
