Advanced Roswell-Park Memorial Institute 1640 (A-RPMI-1640)
Advanced Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (A-RPMI-1640) contains L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine as well as ingredients to allow for serum reduction. Additionally, A-RPMI-1640 needs 2-5% FBS and provides more consistency.
Description
Background
PurMaTM Advanced Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (A-RPMI-1640) contains components that allow for a 60–90% reduction in FBS supplementation. More importantly, synthetic components such as recombinant insulin, albumin, and transferrin increase consistency. This results in less variation amongst lot-to-lot serum changes. In A-RPMI-1640, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is used as the source of glutamine. Additionally, reducing FBS requirements lowers the cost of cell culture experiments.
Contents
Advanced Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (A-RPMI-1640) Contains:
- includes all twenty essential and non-essential amino acids with higher concentrations than regular and MAX formulations.
- A-RPMI-1640 incorporates the elements that significantly reduce the need for a serum for cell culture.
Crucial Ingredients:
- PurMaTM Human Transferrin (Holo): prevents Improperly iron storage and delivery in cell culture systems which is a major contributor to oxidative stress and protein damage.
- PurMaTM Insulin Recombinant
- Trace of other elements which mimic the elements in fetal bovine serum.
Additionally, Advanced Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (A-RPMI-1640) is a significant step toward a chemically defined form of this media. Chemically Defined Advanced RPMI-1640 (CD-A-RPMI-1640) is the outcome of decades of cutting-edge research. It will soon be offered globally to laboratories that are looking for consistency and repeatability in their data.

Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.
