Glutamine stable 100X, 200mM - 100ml

L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid required by all mammalian and insect cells for their culture. It is a crucial component of many cell culture media and serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. Glutamine stable (L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine), dipeptide derivative of L-Glutamine prevents the intramolecular cyclization reaction associated with solutions of L-Glutamine.

The dipeptide derivative is metabolized within the cells to yield L-Glutamine and L-Alanine. This results in more consistent delivery of L-Glutamine to cells and avoid toxic build-up of ammonia in the cells. Glutamine stable is therefore especially dedicated for ammonia-sensitive cell lines. Glutamine stable allows the formulation of cell culture media containing L-Glutamine that may be stored at 4°C for extended periods.

Solutions containing these derivatives can be even autoclaved without appreciable degradation of the product (loss of the product < 5% after 30 minutes at 121°C).
