RPMI 1640 Medium (Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium) was originally developed to culture human leukemic cells in suspension and as a monolayer. RPMI 1640 has since been found suitable for a variety of mammalian cells, including HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes, and carcinomas. We offer a variety of RPMI 1640 modifications for a range of cell culture applications.
This RPMI is modified as follows:
With: Glutamine, Phenol Red, HEPES
The complete formulation is available.
Using RPMI 1640 Medium
RPMI 1640 medium is unique from other media because it contains the reducing agent glutathione and high concentrations of vitamins. RPMI 1640 medium contains biotin, vitamin B12 and PABA, which are not found in Eagle’s Minimal Essential Medium or Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium. In addition, the vitamins inositol and choline are present in very high concentrations. RPMI 1640 medium with Glutamine supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format. RPMI 1640 medium contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, RPMI 1640 medium requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). RPMI 1640 medium uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.0 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
