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
