Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic effective against gram-negative and gram-positive species. In addition, gentamicin exhibitsantimicrobial properties against species resistant to tetracycline, colistin, kanamycin, and chloramphenicol.

Aminoglycoside antibiotics are composed of amino groups attached to glycosides. They bind the 30s ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequence and inhibition of translocation. Consequently, protein synthesis is inhibited.

The Gentamicin EZ Pak™ is the fastest and easiest way to make a set amount of sterile gentamicin solution. The kit includes pre-weighed gentamicin powder, a sterile filter and a sterile container for the filtered solution. No need to calculate, simply add the stated amount of deionized H₂O, filter, and pour into the labeled bottle for easy usage. The EZ Pak™ includes high quality GoldBio gentamicin and the sterile solution is ready for tissue culture, bacterial media, or any number of uses.

The 25 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml require a vacuum manifold for easy vacuum filtering, while the 10 ml pack size comes with a syringe filter.
