L-Glutamine in Cell Culture

L-glutamineis a common a serum-free medium supplement used in biomanufacturing applications, tissue engineering, specialty cell cultures like hybridoma culture, and other common mammalian cell culture applications. However, because l-glutamine is an unstable essential amino acid, most commercially available media are formulated with free L-glutamine included in the basal formula or added to liquid formulations at time of use.We offer glutamine for cell culture as a dipeptide or a protein hydrolysate. Some proprietary media used in biomanufacturing are supplemented with L-glutamine in dipeptide forms, such as alanyl-l-glutamine and glycyl-l-glutamine. A less well-defined source of L-glutamine comes from the use of protein hydrolysates, especially gluten hydrolysates. For serum-free or animal-protein-free media needs, such as culturing recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (rCHO), wheat gluten is a rich source of peptidyl glutamine.Read more aboutL-glutamine in Cell Culture SystemsGlut...
