Corning® 500 g L-Glutamine, Powder

MW 146.15L-glutamine is an essential amino acid and a key component of culture media, serving as a major energy source for propagating cells.  It is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution but degrades rapidly in liquid media or stock solutions, producing toxic compounds.  Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use.
