What is the difference between Penicillin-Streptomycin-Glutamine (100X) (Cat. No. 10378016) and Penicillin Streptomycin GlutaMAX Supplement (100X) (Cat. No. A5873601)?

Penicillin Streptomycin GlutaMAX Supplement (100X) (Cat. No. A5873601) is an alternative to Penicillin-Streptomycin-Glutamine (100X) (Cat. No. 10378016), with increased stability that improves cell health. In aqueous solutions such as cell culture media, L-glutamine spontaneously degrades, generating toxic ammonia and pyrrolidine carboxylic acid as byproducts. GlutaMAX supplement is a dipeptide, L-alanyl-L-glutamine, which is more stable in cell culture media.
