Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium was originally developed to culture human leukemic cells in suspension and as a monolayer.
Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 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 Ecose™ RPMI 1640 modifications for a range of cell culture applications.
This RPMI is modified as follows:
With: L-glutamine, Phenol Red
Without: HEPES, Folic Acid
The complete formulation is available.
Ecose™ RPMI 1640 is unique from other media because it contains the reducing agent glutathione and high concentrations of vitamins. RPMI 1640 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.
Product Use
For Research Use Only: Not intended for animal or human diagnostic or therapeutic use.
RPMI 1640 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, RPMI 1640 requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). RPMI 1640 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.0 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
