Minimum Essential Medium Eagle consists of inorganic salts, water-soluble vitamins, sugar, and essential amino acids. It is widely used as a media formulation for many cell culture studies. It is a modified version of Basal medium Eagle (BME) and the concentrations of the majority of amino acids are twice as compared to BME.

Application

Minimum Essential Medium Eagle has been used to culture osteoblast-like cell line MG-63, dispersed ventricular cells, and endometrial adenocarcinoma Ishikawa cells.

Preparation Note

Formulated to contain 9.6 grams of powder per liter of medium.
Supplement with 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
