Why Hygromycin B EvoPure^®?

Though the use of the hygromycin resistant gene (hpt gene) as a selectable marker,
Hygromycin B (20-100 µg/ml) is commonly used in gene selection experiments to
select for transfected cells.

Unfortunately, the purity of commercially available hygromycin B ranges anywhere
from 60% to 92% (supplier’s claims of 98% are actually only 92% pureas tested by
HPLC).

Recently TOKU-E scientists have not only identified all impurities incommercially
available hygromycin B, but found that one of the impurities can kill most of the
hygromycin B resistant plant cells at 1-10µg/ml. By using today’s best technology
to craft EvoPure^® hygromycin B,you can now by the purest and least toxic (>99.5%)
hygromycin B on the market.
