Minimum Essential Media (MEM) in Earle’s Buffer
$19.11 – $416.15
Minimum Essential Media (MEM) in Earle’s Buffer was originally developed by Harry Eagle. MEM is available with Earle’s salts for use in a CO2 incubator, or with Hanks’ salts for use without CO2.
Description
Minimum Essential Media (MEM) in Earle’s Buffer
Background
Minimum Essential Media (MEM) in Earle’s Buffer is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) which was originally developed by Harry Eagle. It also includes higher concentrations of amino acids for cultured mammalian cells. Moreover, MEM is available with Earle’s salts for use in a CO2 incubator, or with Hanks’ salts for use without CO2.
PurMa™ MEM media includes Earle’s Buffer
As the composition of Earle’s buffer, it contains:
- Calcium chloride
- Magnesium sulfate
- Potassium chloride
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Sodium chloride
- Sodium Phosphate, monobasic
PurMa Biologics manufactures 118 types of MEM, it also includes:
- Low level of glucose (1.00 g/ liter)
- Sodium bicarbonate (2.2 g/L)
- 2 mM L-glutamine (292 mg/L)’
Why PurMa Biologics? Why we stand behind our cell culture media:
Our products are the outcome of 30 years of experience in cutting edge science. We routinely manufacture over 1500 media. We have the most comprehensive collection of cell and tissue culture media. Moreover, We utilize %99 pure amino acids. This will significantly increase the consistency among your experiments, and the result of your lab. Considering the highest quality, our prices certainly are extremely reasonable.
Application:
MEM has been used for cell lines such as HeLa, BHK-21, 293, HEP-2, HT-1080, MCF-7, and fibroblasts as well as primary rat astrocytes. Additionally, MEM in Earle’s buffer uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L) that requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
