MEM, No Glutamine and Phenol Red

MEM is a modification of BME developed by Harry Eagle, featuring enriched amino acids that serve as the basis for Alpha-MEM, DMEM, and others. MEM can be used for the cultivation of various cell types including HeLa, BHK21, 293, HT-1080, and MCF-7. MEM contains Earle's Salts for maintaining pH in a CO2 incubator. This product (Cat. No. CPM105) does not contain L-glutamine, so it can be aseptically supplemented to a concentration of 2 mM if necessary. Additionally, since it does not contain phenol red, it can be used for cultures requiring phenol-red-free conditions.
