Gibco® GlutaMAX™ supplement provides an alternative to L-Glutamine with improved stability cell health. GlutaMAX™ supplement is suitable in both adherent suspension culture of mammalian cells with no adaptation required. GlutaMAX™ supplement is offered as a 200 mM L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide in 0.85% NaCl. GlutaMAX™ supplement is also available pre-supplemented in a variety of media formulations. Compared to L-Glutamine, GlutaMAX™ supplement:

• Minimizes toxic ammonia build-up
• Improves cell viability growth
• Remains stable across a wide range of temperatures

Minimizes toxic ammonia build-up
Unlike L-Glutamine, GlutaMAX™ supplement does not spontaneously break down to form ammonia. Instead, cells cleave the dipeptide bond to release L-Glutamine as needed. This system prevents waste build-up maintains a fresh supply of L-Glutamine during long-term culture.

Improves cell viability growth
Cultures with lower levels of ammonia show improved cell viability. In addition, culture conditions are more controlled due to the consistent concentration of GlutaMAX™ supplement that is not possible with L-Glutamine. ¹

Remains stable across a wide range of temperatures
GlutaMAX™ supplement is room-temperature stable ready to use. GlutaMAX™ supplement retains full functionality for 24 months at room temperature, 2 to 8°C, -5 to -20°C for convenient storage handling. GlutaMAX™ supplement is even stable at 37°C for a week more. ¹

Product Intended Use
