About MEM Alpha Modification, w/o L-Glutamine, with Nucleosides
MEM Alpha Modification is an alteration of MEM (Minimum Essential Medium). MEM was originally developed by Harry Eagle and from there modified in several ways (including the alpha modification) to suit many cell culture applications. It is used for cultivation of numerous suspension and adherent cells, including HeLa, BHK-21, HEK 293, HEP-2, HT-1080, MCF-7, fibroblasts, and primary rat astrocytes. This Alpha MEM modification comes without L-Glutamine and is supplemented with Nucleosides.
Optimized Cell Culture MediumMEM Alpha Modification, without L-Glutamine and enhanced with nucleosides, delivers tailored nutritional support for sensitive cell lines. Its formulation boosts cell viability and proliferation, crucial for applications in molecular biology and diagnostics. Reliable packaging and stringent quality controls ensure each bottle delivers reproducible results in various research environments.
Safe and Convenient StorageThe medium is supplied in a secure 500 mL liquid bottle to maintain sterility and stability. It should be stored at +2C to +8C, which protects valuable nutrients and maintains optimal conditions for downstream research applications. This approach minimizes waste and maintains consistent cell culture results over multiple uses.
