Notes

The effective killing concentration of this antibiotic will vary as to the cell type, media, growth conditions, and the cells metabolic rate and position in the cell cycle. Effective concentrations have been reported from 100μg/ml up to 5mg/ml or greater. When using G418 in a new cell system, a full dose curve is suggested and with each new lot of G418, several points on that curve should be retested, as the potency determined in a standard B. subtilis assay may not exactly correlate to your system.
