Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is one of the most commonly used of all cell culture media. MEM can be used with a variety of suspension and adherent mammalian cells, including HeLa, BHK-21, 293, HEP-2, HT-1080, MCF-7, fibroblasts, and primary rat astrocytes. We offer a variety of Gibco™ MEM modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.


This MEM is modified as follows:
WithWithout
• GlutaMAX™• HEPES
• Phenol Red 


The complete formulation is available.

Gibco™ 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. MEM is available with Earle’s salts for use in a CO2 incubator, or with Hanks' salts for use without CO2. Gibco™ MEM with GlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format. This product is made with Earle’s salts.

Preguntas frecuentes

Where can I find the osmolality for MEM Medium?

The osmolality is listed in the COA for the particular lot number of the medium.

How long can I keep my media after supplementing with serum?

Generally speaking, media can be used for up to three weeks after supplementation with serum. There are no formal studies to support this, but it is the rule of thumb used by our scientists.

My medium was shipped at room temperature but it is supposed to be stored refrigerated. Is it okay?

We routinely ship media that require long-term storage in the refrigerator at room temperature. We have done studies on representative media formulations to show that media can be at room temperature for up to a week without a problem.

Will depletion, absence, or breakdown of essential growth-promoting components such as glutamine or growth factors reduce the growth rate of my culture?

Yes. If you suspect that this is the case, remove the medium and add fresh medium. Alternatively, you can supplement medium with growth-promoting components. It is also possible to substitute GlutaMax I or II for glutamine in the medium to prevent glutamine exhaustion.

Will the media formulations containing GlutaMAX supplement change with respect to L-glutamine content?

In all media containing GlutaMAX supplement dipeptides as a substitute for L-glutamine, concentration is equimolar with the L-glutamine in the original formulation.

Abstract
Involvement of c-Src Tyrosine Kinase Upstream of Class I Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-Kinases in Salmonella Enteritidis Rck Protein-mediated Invasion.
Authors:Wiedemann A, Rosselin M, Mijouin L, Bottreau E, Velge P,
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:22810232
'The Salmonella outer membrane protein Rck mediates a Zipper entry mechanism controlled by tyrosine phosphorylation and class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). However, the underlying mechanism leading to this signaling cascade remains unclear. The present study showed that using Rck-coated beads or Rck-overexpressing Escherichia coli, Rck-mediated actin polymerization and invasion ... More
A potential H-DNA element in the MUC1 promoter does not influence transcription.
Authors: Pahwa G S; Maher L J 3rd; Hollingsworth M A;
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:8900124
A purine/pyrimidine mirror repeat element (M-PMR3) in the MUC1 promoter has been shown to form H-DNA under in vitro conditions. We investigated this element for biological function in the regulation of transcription of this gene. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter-promoter constructs were prepared in which the mirror repeat element (PMR3) was intact, ... More
Nicotinic cholinergic signaling in hippocampal astrocytes involves calcium-induced calcium release from intracellular stores.
Authors:Sharma G, Vijayaraghavan S,
Journal:Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
PubMed ID:11259680
In this report we provide evidence that neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are present on hippocampal astrocytes and their activation produces rapid currents and calcium transients. Our data indicate that these responses obtained from astrocytes are primarily mediated by an AChR subtype that is functionally blocked by alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha Bgt) ... More
Constitutively active NFkappa B is required for the survival of S-type neuroblastoma.
Authors:Bian X, Opipari AW, Ratanaproeksa AB, Boitano AE, Lucas PC, Castle VP,
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:12198114
The NFkappaB transcription factors can both promote cell survival and induce apoptosis depending on cell type and context. Neuroblastoma (NB) cells display two predominant culture phenotypes identified as N- and S-types. Malignant S-type cells express neither high levels of MYCN nor Bcl-2, suggesting that other survival mechanisms are important. We ... More
