MEM Eagle non-essential amino acids (NEAA) concentrate (100X solution), MP Biomedicals
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Most cells can synthesise non-essential amino acids (NEAA) through glucoaminolysis, glycolysis, or the TCA cycle. When these amino acids concentration levels are low, cells need to consume more glucose and glutamine in the media and produce excess by-products, which might affect cell growth. Adding NEAA into the cell culture medium could mitigate the potential side effects caused by self-production of these non-essential amino acids.

Acrylamide ≥99%, white crystalline powder for molecular biology
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Storage: Room Temperature, desiccate.
Acrylamide is prepared on an industrial scale by the hydrolysis of acrylonitrile by nitrile hydratase.
Acrylamide is a monomer used in a variety of synthetic processes to form polymers and copolymers. It polymerizes in the presence of free radicals in aqueous solutions. It is usually used to prepare polyacrylamide gels for electrophoresis separation of biomolecules.
Acrylamide is an extremely hazardous substance in either the powder form or liquid form. Once polymerized, the polyacrylamide is considered safe to handle under normal laboratory conditions. Acrylic Acid Content -≤0.001%

L(-)-Glutathione (reduced form) ≥98%, off-white powder cell culture reagent
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Storage: Store at +4 °C, store under nitrogen
Glutathione is the major low molecular weight thiol compound of the living plant or animal cell. It is a tripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine (which is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine) and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side-chain. It is an antioxidant, preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides. The sulfhydryl (thiol) group (SH) of cysteine serves as a proton donor and is responsible for the biological activity of glutathione.
Glutathione suppresses human immunodeficiency virus expression in chronically infected monocytic cells. It is a useful tripeptide involved in many aspects of metabolism, including transport of g-glutanyl amino acids and reductive cleavage of disulfide bonds.
Endogenous antioxidant that plays a major role in reducing reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and the respiratory burst. Glutathione-S-transferase catalyzes the formation of glutathione thioethers with xenobiotics, leukotrienes, and other molecules that have an electrophilic center. Glutathione also forms disulfide bonds with cysteine residues in proteins. Via these mechanisms, it can have the paradoxical effect of reducing the efficacy of anti-cancer agents.

Tobramycin
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces tenebrarius and used to treat various types of bacteria infections, particularly Gram-negative infections. It is especially effective against species of Pseudomonas. It works by binding to a site on bacterial 30S and 50S ribosome, preventing formation of the 70S complex. As a result, mRNA cannot be translated into protein and cell death ensues. Tobramycin is preferred over gentamicin for Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia due to better lung penetration.
