Carbenicillin an analog to ampicillin is an inhibitor of bacterial cell wall synthesis by disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking. Specifically, transpeptidases is inactivated within the cytosollic of the bacterial cell membrane. High activity against gram-negative bacteria. Commonly used for the elimination of Agrobacterium species after inoculation. B-lactamase sensitive.

Preparation of 50 mg/ml Carbenicillin Stock Solution
(Applicable for Salmonella typhimurium or E. coli)
Take 50 mg of Carbenicillin and add 1 ml of molecular biology grade water to get a final concentration of 50 mg/ml.
Use a vortex to dissolve.
Draw solution into 1 ml syringe.
Pass solution through a 0.22-micron filter into a fresh sterile container.
Store at -20 °C
When ready to use add 2 μl of stock solution per 1 ml of media to get a final concentration of 2 μl/ml.
