Gibco™ Advanced DMEM

Description
Requires
Supplementation
Advanced DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) is a widely used basal medium that allows the culture of mammalian cells with reduced Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) supplementation. Compared to classic DMEM, serum supplementation can be reduced by 50–90% with no change in growth rate or morphology. Cells successfully cultured in Advanced DMEM, with no adaptation, include MDBK, HepG2, COS-7, A549, MDCK, WI-38, and Vero.
This Advanced DMEM is manufactured as follows:
With: High Glucose, Non-essential Amino Acids, Sodium Pyruvate, Phenol Red
Without: L-glutamine
The complete formulation is available.
Using Advanced DMEM
Advanced DMEM is unique from other media due to the addition of the following ingredients to allow for serum reduction: ethanolamine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, insulin, transferrin, AlbuMAX™ I lipid-rich bovine serum albumin for cell culture, and the trace elements sodium selenite, ammonium metavanadate, cupric sulfate, and manganous chloride. Advanced DMEM requires supplementation with 1–5% Fetal Bovine Serum and 4 mM L-glutamine or GlutaMAX™ supplement. Many cell lines do not require adaptation to this media. The FBS concentration must be optimized for each cell line to obtain maximum serum reduction. Advanced DMEM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.7 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
