CellMosaic’s Exatecan Control Set is a ready-to-use solution for in vitro research, formulated to simplify your workflow and minimize handling risks of this potent cytotoxic agent. Exatecan binds to tubulin and inhibits DNA topoisomerase 1, leading to apoptosis.
This control set contains 6 tubes of a 10 µM Exatecan solution in DMSO, a concentration suitable for most biological research and cell-based assays.
The 10 µM concentration is intentionally set within a safe, research-appropriate range for analytical studies, both quantitative and qualitative. Each tube is intended for a single experiment, enabling straightforward dilution (see product sheet Table 1 for suggested dilutions). The Exatecan solution is pre-formulated and stable at room temperature, requiring no preparation before use or dilution.
