About MEM with Earles Salts, w/o L-Glutamine
MEM (Minimum Essential Medium) with Earle's Salts was originally developed by Harry Eagle and from there modified in several ways (e.g. 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 modification of MEM with Earle's Salts comes without L-Glutamine.
Optimized Formulation for Cell GrowthMEM with Earles Salts (w/o L-Glutamine) is specifically developed to support mammalian cell lines, providing essential nutrients for optimal proliferation and maintenance. Its carefully balanced salt composition helps maintain healthy cellular environments during in vitro experiments.
Reliable Packaging and StoragePackaged in a sturdy 500 mL bottle, this liquid medium ensures easy handling and accurate pouring. It must be stored between +2C and +8C to preserve its quality, preventing degradation and ensuring experimental consistency throughout its shelf life.
FAQ's of MEM with Earles Salts, w/o L-Glutamine:
