HP Ampicillin™ is a stronger and more stable inhibitor of ß-lactamase than regular ampicillin and, therefore, supports only the growth of ampicillin resistant colonies even after prolonged incubation.

 

Culture plates can be incubated for a longer period at 37°C, eliminating the time constraint associated with normal ampicillin.

 

HP Ampicillin™ is suitable as an antibiotic to grow plasmids in liquid cultures or plates. HP Ampicillin™ is supplied lyophilized and reconstituted in 500µl deionized water to give a 1000X solution.  Each kit is supplied with 10 vials, suitable for a total volume of 5L culture media or agar.

 

Regular ampicillin, sodium salt is also offered.
