Sodium Pyruvate 100 mM Solution

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

Sodium Pyruvate is commonly added to cell culture medium as an energy source in addition to glucose. Since the cells make sodium pyruvate as an intermediate metabolite in the glycolysis pathway, it is not necessary to supplement all cultures. However, if the cells have been grown in medium supplemented with sodium pyruvate, we recommend the supplementation is continued as the cells become accustomed to this addition and their growth will lag without it. Gibco® Sodium Pyruvate, 100 mM Solution is formulated as 11 g per liter of water. The final concentration of sodium pyruvate used in most cell...

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...
