Details

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.Available with Earle's salts for use in CO2 incubator, or with Hank's salts for use without CO2Gibco MEM with GlutaMAX supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in easy-to-use formatModified as follows: with GlutaMAX™, phenol red; without HEPESMade with Earle's saltsContains no proteins, lipids, or growth factorsRequires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)Uses sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2g/L) and therefore requires 5-10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pHCell Culture, Mammalian Cell Culture
