Williams’ E Medium – Max is a commonly used media for Mammalian cell culture.<\/p>\n
Although L-glutamine is a vital amino acid, it degrades, resulting in the generation of toxic ammonia and pyrrolidine carboxylic acid. One way to minimize L-glutamine degradation in media is to gradually add these amino acids to your cell culture. However, keeping track of time to keep the amount of L-glutamine at the same level is tedious, if not impossible.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, L-alanyl-L-glutamine can be used because it is much more stable in aqueous solutions. More importantly, it does not easily degrade and is gradually cleaved by aminopeptidases. As a result, L-glutamine and L-alanine are then used by the cells for protein production in the TCA cycle.<\/p>\n
In addition to our Max formulation products, we manufacture PurMaTM <\/sup>GluaSup (Cat# P3S210 559), a combination of L-alanyl-L-glutamine which prevents degradation of L-glutamine.<\/p>\n Williams’ E Medium – Max contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, it requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal bovine Serum (FBS).<\/p>\n For complete formulation click here: Williams’ E Medium-MAX Formulation<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nContents<\/h2>\n
