The EBM® and EBM®-2 Basal Media are essentially identical.

The major difference between the EBM® and EBM®-2 Basal Media is the concentration of phenol red (the EBM®-2 Basal Media has about 1/10th the amount of phenol red as the EBM® Basal Media). The two basal media can be used interchangeably so long as the appropriate SingleQuot™ Kit supplements are added depending on the specific cell type being cultured. Additionally, both the EBM® and EBM®-2 Basal Media can be substituted with the EBM® Phenol Red free Basal Media if a phenol red free media is required (additionan of appropriate SingleQuot® Kit supplements would still be required).
