Gibco™ L-Glutamine
Description
L-glutamine participates in the formation of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, amino sugars, glutathione, L-glutamate, other amino acids, and is used in protein synthesis and glucose production. L-glutamine, unlike most other amino acids, is not stable in solution. The rate at which this degradation proceeds is a function of time, temperature, and pH.
L-glutamine (nonsterile) powder should be made as a filter-sterilized stock solution of 200 mM (or similar) in distilled water
Optimal concentration to use is dependent upon the cell type and medium used to culture the cells, but generally falls in the range of 2 to 6 mM.
Alternative product
We also offer GlutaMAX™ supplement (Cat. No. 35050061) as a stable alternative to L-glutamine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When L-glutamine is in a concentrated stock solution it easily precipitates when cooled. Warming the solution briefly in a 37 degrees C water bath with gentle swirling will dissolve the precipitate. Do not use the product unless the precipitate is fully dissolved.
