Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM)

Category: Products & Services > Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents > Supplements > Sodium Pyruvate

Sodium pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture media as an energy source in addition to glucose. Since cells make sodium pyruvate as an intermediate metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not a required supplement for all cell cultures. However, if cells have been grown in medium that is supplemented with sodium pyruvate, we recommend continuing use of the supplement as cell growth may lag without it. Gibco® Sodium Pyruvate (100 mM) is formulated using 11 g per liter of water. The final concentration of sodium pyruvate used in most cell culture media is 1 mM. Dual-site cGMP Manufacturi...

Insulin, Transferrin, Selenium, Sodium Pyruvate Solution (ITS -A), 100X

Category: Products & Services > Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents > Supplements > Insulin, Transferrin, & Iron Supplements

Gibco® Insulin, Transferrin, Selenium, Sodium Pyruvate Solution (ITS -A) is used as a basal medium supplement in order to reduce the amount of Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) used to culture the cells. Originally used with RPMI 1640 and Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), ITS-G is now routinely used with other basal media to support a wide variety of cell types in the presence of 2-4% FBS. Insulin promotes glucose and amino acid uptake, lipogenesis, intracellular transport, and the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. Transferrin is an iron carrier and it may also help to reduce toxic levels of oxyge...
