General description
It contains 19 amino acids. The essential amino acids and the non-essential amino acids; L-ala; L-asn; L-asp; L-glu; L-gly; L-pro and L-ser. May be preferred for growth of adherent cells in the presence of reduced serum or as a base for development of a serum free medium.
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.

A large selection of MEM formulations. Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), developed by Harry Eagle, is one of the most widely used of all synthetic cell culture media.
High-quality ultrapure water that is endotoxin-free is recommended for mammalian cell culture as it support cell viability and prevents contamination.
