Gibco™ MEM, 500 mL
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 Gibco® 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 product is made with Earle’s salts.
Features
- With L-glutamine & Phenol Red.
- Without HEPES.
Using MEM
- 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.
