Geneticin
CAS:108321-42-2
MF: C20H42N4O14S
Geneticin (also known as G418, G418 sulfate) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in structure to gentamicin B1, produced by Micromonospora rhodorangea. Geneticin blocks polypeptide synthesis by inhibiting the elongation step in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and is commonly used in laboratory research to select genetically engineered cells.

geneticin g418/g418 geneticin
G418 also known as G-418, G418 sulfate or Geneticin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by Micromonospora rhodorangea.
geneticin neomycin
Geneticin (aka G418 Sulfate) is a less toxic and very effective alternative for selection in mammalian cells. Neomycin can be used in bacterial selection, but Kanamycin is the preferred drug to use because of Neomycin’s toxicity.
geneticin vs gentamicin
Commonly known as G418 or G-418, Gibco Geneticin reagent is an aminoglycoside related to gentamicin and is commonly used as a selective agent for eukaryotic cells. As an analog of neomycin sulfate, it interferes with the function of 80S ribosomes and protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells.
geneticin vs kanamycin
Kan is specific for prokaryotes, and geneticin is for eukaryotes, even though both antibiotics act in a similar way. If your plasmid encodes resistance for both, your bacteria will express kanr and not genr. The mammalian cells transfected with the same plasmid will express genr.
geneticin vs neomycin
Neomycin and G418 both will target cells which do not contain these genes and they will be eliminated. In general, neomycin is used in experiments on prokaryotic cells, while G418 is used in eukaryotic experiments.
