Thermo Fisher, 11095080, MEM

MEM MEM (Minimum Essential Medium) 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. Find the right formulation using themedia selector tool.
This MEM is modified as follows:WithWithout
• L-glutamine
• HEPES
• Phenol RedThe completeformulationis available.
Using MEMMEM was developed by Harry Eagle, based on his earlier formulation of Basal Medium Eagle (BME). Many other modifications of MEM followed, including Glasgow’s MEM, MEM α, DMEM, and Temin’s Modification. MEM is available with Earle’s salts for use in a CO2incubator, or with Hanks' salts for use without CO2. This product is made with Earle’s salts. 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% CO2environment to maintain physiological pH.
