HiGlutaXL™ Minimum Essential Medium Eagle (MEM) (Alpha Modification)

HiGlutaXL™ medium contains the stabilised dipeptide form of L-glutamine, L-alanyl-L-glutamine. It offers several advantages over the conventional glutamine containing media. Dipeptide form prevents 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 which obviates the need to supplement L-glutamine frequently. AL255G is alpha modification of HiGlutaXL™ Minimum Essential Medium Eagle with L-alanyl-Lglutamine, sodium bicarbonate and non-essential amino acid. It is devoid of deoxyribonucleosides, ribonucleosides and phenol red.
