Gibco™ MEM, developed by Harry Eagle, was 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. Gibco™ MEM withGlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format. This product is made with Earle’s salts.
Using MEMMEM 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.
