Gibco™ Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM)

Description
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, consider continuing use of the supplement as cell growth may lag without it.
- Final concentration of sodium pyruvate used in most cell culture media is 1mM
- Manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility, located in Grand Island, New York, registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and certified to ISO 13485 standards

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.
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 Cells can become hooked on sodium pyruvate however, and if it is withdrawn suddenly from the media, they may experience a short lag in growth.
