Bacterial Plasmid Selection: Sterile 10mg/mL Chloramphenicol stock for selecting and maintaining cat-marked plasmids in Escherichia coli and other bacteria.

BAC Clone Maintenance: Selection of bacterial artificial chromosome vectors carrying cat in Escherichia coli.

Protein Expression Systems: Maintains chloramphenicol-selectable helper and expression plasmids (e.g., pLysS/pLysE) in Escherichia coli.

Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing: Used in MIC and growth inhibition assays against organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Salmonella enterica.

Reporter Gene Assays (CAT): Substrate for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter assays in molecular biology.

Recombineering/Gene Knockout Selection: Selection with cat cassettes during genome editing workflows in Escherichia coli and related bacteria.

Translation Inhibition Studies: Blocks prokaryotic protein synthesis for mechanistic studies of ribosome function.

Contamination Control: Suppresses chloramphenicol-sensitive bacterial contaminants in eukaryotic cell, insect, and plant tissue culture workflows.
