Reference sheet · Antimicrobial · CPC catalog code ATBP-005
Reference standards in the Antimicrobial class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
Magainin Spacer Peptide sits within the Antimicrobial research class (CPC reference ATBP-005). Antimicrobial peptides typically disrupt bacterial, fungal, or viral membranes through direct electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, or by triggering intracellular targets after translocation. Assay potency is usually reported as MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) against reference strains. Investigators typically incorporate Magainin Spacer Peptide as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Most commonly used in broth microdilution MIC assays (CLSI M07), radial diffusion assays, and membrane-permeabilization (SYTOX / DiSC₃-5) readouts.
Magainin Spacer Peptide (CPC catalog code ATBP-005) is a synthetic antimicrobial peptide (amp) reference standard in the antimicrobial category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
Published and internal research programs use Magainin Spacer Peptide as a reference standard in antimicrobial workflows — for example, minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) screens against gram-positive and gram-negative panels and biofilm disruption and anti-biofilm surface coatings. Human clinical evidence is not established.
No. Magainin Spacer Peptide is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
In a antimicrobial workflow, Magainin Spacer Peptide is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Most commonly used in broth microdilution MIC assays (CLSI M07), radial diffusion assays, and membrane-permeabilization (SYTOX / DiSC₃-5) readouts.
Other reference standards in the same class — commonly cross-referenced during assay design and comparator selection.
