HiGlutaXL Minimum Essential Medium Eagle with Earle's salts, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, NEAA and Sodium bicarbonate, 5x500 mL

HiGlutaXL™ medium contains the stabilised dipeptide form of L-glutamine, L-alanyl-L-glutamine. HiGlutaXL™ medium offers several advantages over the conventional glutamine containing media. Dipeptide form prevents the intramolecular cyclization reaction, thus preventing toxic build-up of ammonia. L-alanyl-Lglutamine incorporates L-alanine that protects the alpha amino acid group. Aminopeptidases within the cell break the dipeptide, gradually releasing both L-glutamine and L-alanine for use by the cell. The gradual release of Lglutamine obviates the need of addition of L-glutamine at the time of use and allows liquid media to be stored at 4°C for longer periods. C985F20, C985F21 and C985F22 is RPMI 1640 without L-glutamine, phenol red and sodium bicarbonate. Users are advised to review the literature for recommendations regarding medium supplementation and physiological growth requirements specific for different cell lines. Storage and Shelf Life Store at 2-8°C away from bright light. Shelf life is 18 months. Use before expiry date given on the product label.
