Gibco™ GlutaMAX™ Supplement, 100 mL

Gibco™ GlutaMAX™ Supplement is a highly stable, dipeptide-based substitute for L-glutamine, specifically designed to support the growth and viability of mammalian cells in culture. It consists of L-alanyl-L-glutamine at a 200 mM concentration in 0.85% NaCl, offering superior chemical stability and reduced cytotoxic by-products compared to traditional L-glutamine.

This ready-to-use supplement provides a consistent supply of glutamine without the spontaneous degradation associated with standard formulations, helping to minimize ammonia accumulation, improve cell viability, and extend culture longevity—especially in long-term or high-density cultures.

Key Features and Benefits

• Stabilized Dipeptide Formulation
  GlutaMAX is an L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide, more stable than L-glutamine and hydrolyzed by cells as needed.
• Improved Culture Conditions
  Prevents buildup of toxic ammonia, which often results from L-glutamine degradation.
• Enhanced Cell Viability and Growth
  Supports better viability and consistent performance across a range of adherent and suspension mammalian cell types.
• Flexible Storage and Handling
  Remains stable at room temperature (15–30°C), refrigerated (2–8°C), or frozen (–5 to –20°C). Also stable for up to one week at 37°C.
• Animal-Origin Free and cGMP Compliant
  Manufactured under ISO 13485 standards with animal-origin free components to support regulated research environments.

Applications

• Routine maintenance of mammalian cell lines
• Long-term cell culture and bioproduction
• Cell-based assays and recombinant protein expression
• Antibody production and vaccine research
• Use in chemically defined or serum-free media formulations
