Gibco™ MEM, high glucose, high sodium bicarbonate

Description

• Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is one of the most commonly used of all cell culture media
• MEM can be used with a variety of suspension and adherent mammalian cells, including HeLa, BHK-21, 293, HEP-2, HT-1080, MCF-7, fibroblasts, and primary rat astrocytes
• We offer a variety of Gibco™ MEM modifications for a range of cell culture applications
• Find the right formulation using our media selector tool
• This MEM is modified as follows: With: Phenol Red, D-glucose (6 g/L), Sodium Bicarbonate (3.7 g/L) Without: L-glutamine, HEPES Gibco™ MEM, developed by Harry Eagle, was based on his earlier formulation of Basal Medium Eagle (BME)
• Many other modifications of MEM followed, including Glasgow's MEM, MEM α, DMEM, and Temin's Modification
• MEM is available with Earle's salts for use in a CO 2 incubator, or with Hanks' salts for use without CO 2
• Product Intended Use For Research Use Only
• Not intended for animal or human diagnostic or therapeutic use
• MEM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors
• Therefore, MEM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)
• MEM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L) and therefore requires a 5–10% CO 2 environment to maintain physiological pH
• Certifications ISO 13485
