Recommended Media

McCoy's 5A Medium was developed in 1956 to be formulated for the nutritional requirements of Walker 256 carcinoma. Its unique components include asparagine, 3X normal glucose, amino acids (all Lisomers) and increased folic acid. It is a general purpose medium for primary and established cell lines.

12-168 With L-glutamine and 25 mM HEPES 
12-688 With L-glutamine

Storage = 2ºC to 8ºC
