Antibiotics & Antimycotics

Antibiotics and antimycotics are vital components in cell culture workflows, used to prevent and control bacterial and fungal contamination in in vitro environments. This category includes widely used antibiotics such as penicillin-streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, and blasticidin, as well as antifungal agents like amphotericin B and fungizone. These reagents help safeguard experiments by maintaining sterile conditions, particularly in long-term or high-throughput culture systems. They are routinely used in academic labs, biotech R&D, and biopharmaceutical production facilities, especially in applications involving mammalian cell lines, primary cultures, stem cells, and microbial expression systems. Additionally, selective antibiotics are often used in transfection and stable cell line development, where only genetically modified cells expressing resistance genes are allowed to proliferate. While antibiotics are not a substitute for good aseptic technique, they provide a critical layer of protection in complex workflows such as gene editing, bioprocess development, vaccine production, and assay screening. Antimycotics, in particular, are useful in humid incubator environments prone to fungal growth. Wasteless Bio provides a sustainable way to source unopened, surplus antibiotics and antimycotics from trusted institutions, reducing chemical waste and enabling cost-effective research. Each listing includes detailed specifications and expiration information, allowing scientists to confidently integrate these reagents into sterile workflows. Whether used in early discovery or scale-up phases, this category ensures continuity and protection of cell culture integrity.
