L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid required for cell metabolism, serving as a major energy source for cells in culture. It is a crucial component of many cell culture media.
L-Glutamine is very stable in powder and frozen solution form. However, in liquid media, it can degrade rapidly as it is more labile than other amino acids. Adding L-Glutamine to cell culture media just before use improves cell growth and metabolism.
This solution is 100X concentrated, corresponding to an L-Glutamine concentration of 200mM.
