Widely used in cell culture applications, particularly for research involving glucose metabolism studies. Its lack of glucose allows researchers to control and manipulate glucose levels, making it ideal for experiments focused on glycolysis, glucose deprivation, or metabolic stress. The inclusion of L-glutamine supports cell growth and protein synthesis, ensuring optimal conditions for cell viability. Commonly employed in cancer research, neuroscience, and studies on cellular energy pathways. It is also suitable for experiments requiring precise nutrient control or where sodium pyruvate interference must be avoided.
