L-Glutamine, Y-Irradiated, Bioxtra, Suitable For Cell Culture, 1 Vial, Each

Details:

Specifications synonym(s): (s)-2,5-diamino-5-oxopentanoic acid; l-glutamic acid 5-amideformula: h2ncoch2ch2ch(nh2)co2hformula weight: 146.14Cas no.: 56-85-9Suitability: qualified for use in cell culture applications, especially serum-free cell culture.Other notes: the dipeptide l-ala-lgln is frequently used in modern serum-free media formulations because it provides a more stable form of glutamine in vitro.Packaging: 50 ml amber serum vial with rubber stopper.Beilstein registry number: 1723797ec no.: 200-292-1Melting point: 185°c (dec.)(Lit.)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.Reconstitution: prepares a 200 mm solution when reconstituted to 10 ml with sterile water.Empirical formula (hill notation): c6h6o2 â· c6h4o2
