Liquid Basal Media
DMEM
Widely used for the culture of various mammalian cells, DMEM is particularly suitable for fast-growing, low-adherence cells and cells that have undergone DNA transfection.
RPMI-1640
RPMI-1640 is designed for a wide range of mammalian cells, especially effective for the culture of suspension cells such as lymphocytes and leukemia cells.
DMEM/F12
A 1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12, DMEM/F12 is suitable for culturing various mammalian cells and is often used as a base for developing serum-free culture media.
MEM
Known as the simplest essential medium, MEM contains basic components and is widely used for the culture of various mammalian cells, both suspension and adherent.

FAQs
-
Can I replace the basal medium previously used with this new basal medium?
AnswerFirstly, please check the formula of both media and check whether there are special requirements for the medium. It is replaceable when the 2 basal media are the same type. It is recommended to mix the new basal medium with the previous basal medium at 1:1 and use it to culture cells for about 1 week, then replace all with the new basal medium after the cells are in stable status. During this period, pay attention to the observation of the cell state. It is not recommended to change when the basal media are different types. If you insist on it, it’s suggested to take a small number of cells and test it in subculture for 2 to 3 passages. Observe the cell status. If there is no status change and the cells adapt well, you can replace the medium. Before replacing, it is recommended to cryopreserve a sufficient amount of cells, in case of a cell shortage due to the non-adaptation.

Dose this basal medium contain NaHCO3?
AnswerYou can find the formula information of this medium through our website. If no relevant information is available, please contact our technical support. Most of the basal media contain NaHCO3, except for the L-15 medium, which adopts a phosphate salt buffer system. The content of NaHCO3 in each basal medium is not necessarily the same.
-
Dose this basal medium need to be filter-sterilized?
AnswerIf the medium is in powder form, it needs to be filter-sterilized after preparation. If the medium is in liquid form, there’s no need to filter-sterilize. All our liquid basal media are filtered by 0.1μm filter membrane to ensure sterilization. Additional filtration will increase the risk of contamination.
