Gibco™ L-Glutamine (200 mM)

Description

• Description L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is required for cell culture
• L-Glutamine participates in the formation of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, amino sugars, glutathione, L-glutamate, and other amino acids, as well as in protein synthesis and glucose production
• Unlike most other amino acids, L-glutamine is not stable in solution
• The rate at which degradation proceeds is a function of time, temperature, and pH
• Gibco™ L-glutamine is a ready-to-use 200 mM stock solution that acts as a cell culture supplement
• The optimal concentration is dependent upon the cell type and medium used to culture the cells, but generally falls in the range of 2–6 mM
