Advanced DMEM/F-12 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/Ham's F-12) is a widely used basal medium that allows the culture of mammalian cells with reduced Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) supplementation. Compared to classic DMEM/F-12, serum supplementation can be reduced by 50–90% with no change in growth rate or morphology. Cells successfully cultured in Advanced DMEM/F-12, with no adaptation, include MRC-5, SP2, Vero, WI-38 and Jurkat.

This Advanced DMEM/F-12 is manufactured as follows:

With: Glucose, Non Essential Amino Acids, Sodium pyruvate, Phenol Red

Without: L-glutamine, HEPES

The complete formulation is available.

Using Advanced DMEM/F-12

Advanced DMEM/F-12 is unique from other media due to addition of the following ingredients to allow for serum reduction: ethanolamine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, insulin, transferrin, AlbuMAX™ II lipid-rich bovine serum albumin for cell culture, and the trace elements sodium selenite, ammonium metavanadate, cupric sulfate, and manganous chloride. Advanced DMEM/F-12 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 Advanced DMEM/F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.7 g/L) and therefore requires a 5–10% CO₂ environment to maintain physiological pH.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can NSCs generated using PSC Neural Induction Medium be expanded in the PSC Neural Induction Medium or do they need to be in the recommended NSC expansion medium, as stated in the product manual?

We recommend using neural expansion medium with the following composition to expand NSCs generated using the PSC Neural Induction Medium: - 50:50 Neurobasal medium: Advanced DMEM/F12 plus PSC Neural Induction Supplement.

PSC lines can behave differently, and we recommend performing your own validation experiments if you want to use PSC Neural Induction Medium, or you do not observe good expansion using the Neurobasal and Advanced DMEM/F12 combination.

Do you offer DMEM/F12 medium without folic acid?

We do not offer DMEM/F12 medium without folic acid as a standard catalog product. However, our Customs group can make it for you as a custom media. If you are interested, please complete this Custom order inquiry form PDF (https://www.thermofisher.com/content/dam/LifeTech/global/applied-sciences/pdfs/Bioproduction/Gibco-Custom-Media-Buffers-Request-Form.pdf) and email it to custommedia@thermofisher.com. Our Customs group will review your requirements and get back to you within a couple of days with pricing, ordering information, and lead time. After that, you have the choice of proceeding with an “official” order or declining.

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.

How can I remove mycoplasma contamination from my cell culture medium?

Very often mycoplasma contamination cannot be removed from the culture so it should be discarded. You may have a unique culture that you prefer not to discard and would like to try to clean it. Ciprofloxacin and Plasmocin have reportedly been used for this application. If interested in a protocol or directions for use, check with the antibiotic supplier or published literature. Note that mycoplasma are very difficult to remove from culture and spread easily so the treated cultures should be quarantined until clear of mycoplasma, and your laboratory should be thoroughly cleaned.

Abstract

In vitro generation of human pluripotent stem cell derived lung organoids.

Authors:Dye BR,Hill DR,Ferguson MA,Tsai YH,Nagy MS,Dyal R,Wells JM,Mayhew CN,Nattiv R,Klein OD,White ES,Deutsch GH,Spence JR

Journal:eLife

PubMed ID:25803487

Recent breakthroughs in 3-dimensional (3D) organoid cultures for many organ systems have led to new physiologically complex in vitro models to study human development and disease. Here, we report the step-wise differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (embryonic and induced) into lung organoids. By manipulating developmental signaling pathways hPSCs ... More

PubMed ID:30061675

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence is increasing while 5-year survival rates remain less than 15%. A lack of experimental models has hampered progress. We have generated clinically annotated EAC organoid cultures that recapitulate the morphology, genomic, and transcriptomic landscape of the primary tumor including point mutations, copy number alterations, and mutational ...

Long-term expansion of epithelial organoids from human colon, adenoma, adenocarcinoma, and Barrett's epithelium.

Authors:Sato T,Stange DE,Ferrante M,Vries RG,Van Es JH,Van den Brink S,Van Houdt WJ,Pronk A,Van Gorp J,Siersema PD,Clevers H

Journal:Gastroenterology

PubMed ID:21889923

Background & aims: We previously established long-term culture conditions under which single crypts or stem cells derived from mouse small intestine expand over long periods. The expanding crypts undergo multiple crypt fission events, simultaneously generating villus-like epithelial domains that contain all differentiated types of cells. We have adapted the culture ...

Single Lgr5 stem cells build crypt-villus structures in vitro without a mesenchymal niche.

Journal:Nature

PubMed ID:19329995

The intestinal epithelium is the most rapidly self-renewing tissue in adult mammals. We have recently demonstrated the presence of about six cycling Lgr5(+) stem cells at the bottoms of small-intestinal crypts. Here we describe the establishment of long-term culture conditions under which single crypts undergo multiple crypt fission events, while ... More

The Wnt target gene Lgr5 marks actively dividing stem cells in Wnt-driven, self-renewing tissues such as small intestine and colon(1), stomach(2) and hair follicles(3). A 3D culture system allows long-term clonal expansion of single Lgr5(+) stem cells into transplantable organoids that retain many characteristics of the original epithelial architecture(2, 4, ...
