Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is one of the most commonly used of all cell culture media.
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 Ecose™ MEM modifications for a range of cell culture applications.
This MEM is modified as follows:
With: L-glutamine, Proline, Sodium Pyruvate, Zinc
Without: Phenol Red, Gentamycin, HEPES, Insulin
The complete formulation is available.
Ecose™ Richter’s MEM is a modified formulation of Eagle’s MEM that contains iron, zinc, putrescine, fatty acids, and gentamycin. Richter’s modification also includes very high concentrations of both choline chloride and i-Inositol. This product was further modified with L-glutamine, without gentamicin sulfate, and without phenol red.
Product Use
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Ecose™ 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% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
Storage conditions: 2 – 8°C. Protect from light.
Shipping conditions: Ambient
Shelf life: 12 months from date of manufacture
