Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM)

Background

Eagle’s Minimal Essential Medium (EMEM) was developed by Harry Eagle and is widely used. It is composed of necessary salts for optimal cell growth and maintenance. Additionally, it contains high glucose, essential amino acids, and vitamins. Several versions of EMEM have been developed by modification of its composition. This media is suitable for a wide range of mammalian cells – adhesive as well as suspension cells.

Ingredients
