Gibco™ IMDM, No Phenol Red, 500 mL

Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) is well suited for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell cultures, including Jurkat, COS-7, and macrophage cells. We offer a variety of Gibco® IMDM modifications for a range of cell culture applications.

Features

• With L-glutamine.
• Without Phenol Red, α-thioglycerol & 2-mercaptoethanol.
• IMDM, a modification of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins.
• In addition, this unique medium lacks iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate.

Using IMDM

• IMDM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, IMDM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
• IMDM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.024 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO₂ environment to maintain physiological pH.
