Description

Glutamine-X Solution, 200mM, sterile, stabilized glutamine, Tissue Culture Grade solution

Glutamine is an essential amino acid commonly used in cell culture. However, it is notably unstable in liquid media, spontaneously breaking down to release cytotoxic amines. L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide is a Glutamine substitute that provides a more stable form of glutamine for use in cell cultures. L-alanyl-L-glutamine prevents degradation and cytotoxicity while markedly increasing shelf life.

Glutamine-X contains L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide prepared at a convenient 200mM (100x) concentration in 0.85% NaCl.

Synonym: Alanyl-glutamine, Glutamine-S
