MEM Alpha-Modification MAX (MEM-Alpha-MAX) in Hanks’ Buffer is a commonly used media for Mammalian cell culture.<\/p>\n
MEM Alpha-Modification MAX (MEM-Alpha-MAX) in Hanks’ Buffer performs better than MEM for a number of cell lines, please see the description of regular MEM-\u03b1 : MEM-\u03b1<\/span><\/p>\n Although L-glutamine is a vital amino acid, it degrades, generating 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 gradually releases 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 that prevents the degradation of L-glutamine.<\/p>\n MEM Alpha-Modification MAX (MEM-Alpha-MAX) in Hanks’ Buffer 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: MEM-alpha-MAX Formulation in Hanks’ Buffer (HBSS)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MEM Alpha-Modification MAX (MEM-\u03b1-MAX) in Hanks\u2019 Buffer contains L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, therefore supplying a longer shelf life. \u00a0 MEM-\u03b1-MAX in HBBS significantly improves cell viability and growth.
