MEM, developed by Harry Eagle, was based on his earlier formulation of Basal Medium Eagle (BME). Many other modifications of MEM followed, including Glasgow’s MEM, MEM α, DMEM, and Temin’s Modification. Temin’s Modification is a 2x MEM with 4x the vitamins and amino acids of the original MEM. This MEM formulation contains Earle’s salts for use in a CO2 incubator. This product is made with Earle’s salts.

Product Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use. CAUTION: Not for human or animal therapeutic use. Uses other than the intended use may be a violation of local law.

MEM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, MEM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). MEM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (8.4 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Not for human or animal therapeutic use. Uses other than the intended use may be a violation of local law. For in vitro diagnostic use.
