Description
Ampicillin is a BioScience Grade beta-lactam antibiotic reagent for laboratory and molecular biology applications. It carries CAS number 69-53-4 and the empirical formula C₁₆H₁₉N₃O₄S, with a molar mass of 349,41 g/mol. The 10 mg pack size is convenient for preparing selective media, stock solutions, and small-scale resistance or susceptibility experiments. Ampicillin is routinely used in bacterial selection systems, plasmid maintenance workflows, and microbiological assay development where a well-characterised antibiotic standard is essential. BioScience Grade material supports reproducible preparation of working concentrations for cloning, transformation recovery, and culture control steps. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this compact unit suits method establishment, teaching laboratories, and pilot studies that do not require bulk quantities. Clear CAS, formula, and molar-mass data simplify documentation, molar calculations, and cross-lab protocol alignment. The focused 10 mg format helps laboratories manage inventory of specialised biochemicals while retaining flexibility for multiple experimental designs.
This article is part of Antibiotics & antimycotics, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Ampicillin, BioScience Grade, 10 mg
What is this article?
Ampicillin, BioScience Grade, 10 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Antibiotics & antimycotics, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
An antibiotic or an antimycotic for laboratory use is specified by potency, often micrograms per milligram, and by the spectrum it is used for in media. A hydrate and a free base differ in mass. Sterile solutions ready for culture and the dry powder are different articles. This is not a medicine for a patient.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
