HiGlutaXL™ Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 Ham (DMEM/F12, 1:1 Mixture) w/ L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine and 2.438gms per litre Sodium bicarbonate w/o HEPES buffer and Trace elements

HiGlutaXL™ medium contains the stabilised dipeptide form of L-glutamine, L-alanyl-L-glutamine. HiGlutaXL™ medium offers several advantages over the conventional glutamine containing media. Dipeptide form prevents the intramolecular cyclization reaction, thus preventing toxic build -up of ammonia. L-alanyl Lglutamine incorporates L-alanine that protects the alpha amino acid group. Aminopeptidases within the cell break the dipeptide, gradually releasing both L-glutamine and L-alanine for use by the cell. The gradual release of Lglutamine obviates the need to supplement L-glutamine frequently and allows liquid media to be stored at 4ºC for longer periods. AL155G is HiGlutaXL™ DMEM/Nutrient Mixture F-12 Ham with L-alanyl-L-glutamine and 2.438gms per litre sodium bicarbonate. It does not contain trace elements and HEPES buffer.
