Recommended Media

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) was developed in 1969 and is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) that differs from BME and MEM by the following characteristics:

  • Vitamins 4X greater than MEM. Vitamins and amino acids greater than BME
  • Types and quantities of amino acids greater than MEM and BME
  • Iron (ferric nitrate)

It is used in a wide range of mammalian cell culture applications.  The high glucose version is well suited to high density suspension culture. The low glucose formula is used for adherent dependent cells.

Storage = 2ºC to 8ºC
