Merck, D8437-500ML, Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 Ham

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM), a regularly used cell culture medium, is a source of energy-rich media that includes glucose, vitamins, and amino acids. A 1:1 mixture of Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s medium (DME) and Ham′s F-12 nutrient mixture is commonly used in cell culture research. To compensate for the loss of buffering capacity caused by removing serum, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer may be added in the formulations at a final concentration of 15 mM.
