L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid commonly used in cell
culture. However, it is notably unstable in liquid media,
spontaneously breaking down to release cytotoxic amines. This
stabilized compound (L-alanyl-L-glutamine) prevents degradation
and cytotoxicity, markedly increasing shelf life.

L-Glutamine:Penicillin:Streptomycin is a standard combination of
penicillin and streptomycin plus the essential amino acid
L-glutamine. This stabilized formulation (with
L-alanyl-L-glutamine) prevents the degradation and cytotoxicity
known to be associated with the monopeptide L-glutamine, markedly
increasing shelf life. It is furnished in a convenient 100X
concentration to simplify media supplementation.
