This product was further modified with L-glutamine, without gentamicin sulfate, and without phenol red.

Product Use
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Gibco™ MEM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, MEM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). MEM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO₂ environment to maintain physiological pH.
