Will depletion, absence, or breakdown of essential growth-promoting components such as glutamine or growth factors reduce the growth rate of my culture?
Yes. If you suspect that this is the case, remove the medium and add fresh medium. Alternatively, you can supplement medium with growth-promoting components. It is also possible to substitute GlutaMax I or II for glutamine in the medium to prevent glutamine exhaustion.
Will the media formulations containing GlutaMAX supplement change with respect to L-glutamine content?
In all media containing GlutaMAX supplement dipeptides as a substitute for L-glutamine, concentration is equimolar with the L-glutamine in the original formulation.
