Cystine dipeptides – Solubility and performance advantages over free cysteine / cystine in cell culture media

Overview

Cysteine is highly reactive in cell culture media, easily oxidizing into the poorly soluble cystine and creating other reaction challenges. This webinar will discuss substitution with cystine dipeptides to significantly increase solubility, improve metabolism, boost performance and optimize processes.
