CAS Number: 56-85-9

MDL No.: MFCD00008044

Storage: -20C

EC Number: 200-292-1

UNSPSC Code: 12352200

Application: L-glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media, which serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the medium with L-glutamine prior to use.

Biochem/physiol Actions: L-glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use.

Preparation Note: Prepared in cell culture grade water.
