    Comments: NOTE: Most cell culture technologists avoid using antibiotics and antimycotics for routine culture work. Antibiotics and antimycotics may mask contamination by susceptible bacteria and fungi while permitting mycoplasma to flourish unnoticed. Antibiotics and antimycotics may interfere with the metabolism of sensitive cells in culture. However, one may elect to introduce antibiotics and antimycotics for short periods to primary cultures or as a safeguard while propagating specific valuable stocks.
  • Calf Bovine Serum (ATCC® 30-2030)

    ATCC® Number: 30-2030
    Quantity: 500 mL
    Storage: Store calf bovine serum at -20°C or colder. Do not store frozen calf bovine serum at temperatures above -20°C for any length of time. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws by dispensing and storing calf bovine serum in aliquots. Calf bovine serum is supplied in PETG plastic bottles.
    Applications: Iron supplemented and triple filtered through 0.1 μm filters. Each lot of calf bovine serum is tested for sterility and for the ability to support the growth of cells using sequential growth curves. Calf bovine serum is manufactured from bovine blood collected in USDA-inspected abattoirs located in the United States. Serum has not come from cattle born, raised, shipped through, or slaughtered in countries where BSE is known to exist.

  • L-Glutamine Solution, 200 mM (ATCC® 30-2214)

    ATCC® Number: 30-2214
    Quantity: 100 mL
    Storage: Store L-glutamine solution frozen at -20°C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws by dispensing and storing in aliquots.
    Applications: L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid required by virtually all mammalian and insect cells grown in culture.

    L-Glutamine is also more labile in cell culture solutions than other amino acids. The rate and extent of L-glutamine degradation are related to storage temperatures, age of the product, and pH.

    All cell culture media are formulated to contain appropriate amounts of L-glutamine to support cell growth well beyond the expiration date of the media. However, if L-glutamine is suspected to be a limiting factor during cell culture, a simple test of 'spiking' the medium with a small amount of L-glutamine will determine whether or not more is required. Simply add a small amount of L-glutamine (~ 2 mM final concentration) to the culture medium. If the cell growth rate increases, L-glutamine is most likely deficient and more should be added.

    Comments:

    Added as a supplement to cell culture media. L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid required by virtually all mammalian and insect cells grown in culture. L-Glutamine is also more labile in cell culture solutions than other amino acids. The rate and extent of L-glutamine degradation are related to storage temperatures, age of the product, and pH. 

    Note: L-glutamine degradation results in the build-up of ammonia which can have a deleterious effect on some cell lines. Use caution when adding more L-glutamine than called for in the original medium formulation (2 to 4 mM is standard). For most cell lines, ammonia toxicity is more critical for cell viability than L-glutamine limitation.
