L-Glutamine, Cell Culture Grade is an essential amino acid that is a component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine, Cell Culture Grade is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. L-Glutamine is also more labile in cell culture solutions than other amino acids. The rate and extent of L-Glutamine, Cell Culture Grade degradation are related to storage temperatures, age of the product, and pH.
