L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid that can be supplemented to cell culture media. It is an essential amino acid and a significant energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. However, in liquid media or liquid stock solutions, L-Glutamine degrades relatively rapidly.
Ammonium ions are toxic degradation products of L‑Glutamine, which can interfere and may cause damage to cells. To minimize the issue of degradation, the L-Glutamine Solution is shipped as a frozen product. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation just before use. This solution is prepared in cell culture-grade water.
