Gibco™ BenchStable™ MEM, 10 x 500 mL

Gibco 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 MEM modifications for a range of cell culture applications.

MEM is available with Earle’s salts for use in a CO₂ incubator, or with Hanks' salts for use without CO₂.

This MEM includes Earle's salts.

BenchStable MEM has been engineered for storage at room temperature while supporting cellular proliferation and maximum cell densities comparable to conventional MEM when supplemented with ≥10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).

Features

• Optimized for room temperature stability.
• With GlutaMAX, Phenol Red.
• Without HEPES.
• MEM with GlutaMAX supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format.
