| Features: |
An extremely stable dipeptide form of L-glutamine (alanyl-L-glutamine); provides controlled glutamine delivery
Supplied in normal saline at a concentration of 200 mM
Autoclavable (121°C, 20 minutes) with no significant breakdown
Substitute for L-glutamine on an equimolar basis for most adherent and suspension cultures
A cellular adapation period is not required and growth of most cell types is comparable to that obtained with L-glutamine
It is cleaved into L-glutamine and the respectively associated amino acid by aminopeptidases present in the cell and in serum
A period of adaption may be required for use in serum-free applications
No need to add L-glutamine just prior to use
These products are for research use only
Not approved for human or veterinary use, for application to humans or animals, or for use in clinical or in vitro procedures
Ammonia sensitive systems (bioreactors)
Long term toxicity studies
Long incubations without feeding (cloning assays) |
