Fungin™
Prevention and Elimination of Fungi
Fungin™ is used as a "routine addition" to cell culture media to prevent yeast and fungal contaminations in small or large scale animal cell cultures. Fungin™ replaces Amphotericin B preparations.
Fungin™ is a new soluble form of Pimaricin, a polyene introduced in the 1950’s as an anti-fungal agent. This antimycotic compound kills yeasts, molds and fungi by disrupting ionic exchange through the cell membrane. Fungin™ is cell culture tested, and may be added to media containing commonly used antibacterial agents.
