HyClone® Alpha MEM, with L-Glutamine

HyClone MEM liquid media supports cell growth in research, upstream process development, and cell culture manufacturing processes. MEM composition includes vitamins, minerals, and amino acids vital to supporting mammalian cell culture and promoting cell growth. There are several MEM media options to support cell culture process development. Formulations of HyClone cell culture MEM media are available with or without L-glutamine. The MEM alpha modification includes the additional components such as non-essential amino acids, ascorbic acid, biotin, vitamin B12, lipoic acid, sodium pyruvate, ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides. Improved MEM, or Richter’s modification, is also available with increased concentrations of certain amino acids, vitamins, and metabolites. In many MEM media formulations, phenol red is added as a pH indicator. All available MEM media contain a sodium bicarbonate buffer with some also containing EBSS to maintain optimal culture pH.
