Features
- With Phenol Red & GlutaMAX™.
- Without Ribonucleosides & Deoxyribonucleosides.
- MEM α is a modification of Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) that contains non-essential amino acids, sodium pyruvate, lipoic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, and ascorbic acid.
- MEM α is available without nucleosides for use as a selection medium for DG44 and other DHFR-negative cells.
Using MEM α
- MEM α contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, MEM α requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
- MEM α uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
