Description

Growth supplement

Sodium pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture media as a carbon source in addition to glucose. Since cells make sodium pyruvate as an intermediate metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not a required supplement for all cell cultures. However, if cells have been grown in medium that is supplemented with sodium pyruvate, we recommend continuing use of the supplement as cell growth may lag without it. Gibco Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM) is formulated using 11 g per liter of water. The final concentration of sodium pyruvate used in most cell culture media is 1 mM.

cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System

For supply chain continuity, we manufacture Gibco Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM) at two separate facilities located in Grand Island, NY and Scotland, UK. Both sites are compliant with cGMP manufacturing requirements and are certified to the ISO 13485 standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

For how long is Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM) stable at 2-8 degrees C after opening the bottle?

When stored properly at 2-8 degrees C, the product is stable for 12 months from date of shipment
How is your sodium pyruvate supplied?

Sodium pyruvate (Cat. No. 11360070) is supplied as a liquid supplement for cell culture media at 100 mM (100X) and a final concentration of 11,004 mg/L.

What is the purpose of sodium pyruvate in media?

Sodium pyruvate serves as an additional energy source for cells in culture. It is often added to low-glucose formulations (1.0 g/L glucose) and is sometimes added to higher-glucose formulations as well. Cells can become “hooked” on sodium pyruvate however, and if it is withdrawn suddenly from the media, they may experience a short lag in growth.
