DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) is a widely used basal medium for supporting the growth of many different mammalian cells. Cells successfully cultured in DMEM include primary fibroblasts, neurons, glial cells, HUVECs, and smooth muscle cells, as well as cell lines such as HeLa, 293, Cos-7, and PC-12. Life Technologies offers a variety of DMEM modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.

This DMEM is modified as follows:

With: High Glucose, L-glutamine, Phenol Red

Without: Sodium Pyruvate, HEPES

The complete formulation is available.

Using DMEM

DMEM is unique from other media as it contains 4 times the concentration of amino acids and vitamins than the original Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium. DMEM was originally formulated with low glucose (1 g/L) and sodium pyruvate, but is often used with higher glucose levels, with or without sodium pyruvate. DMEM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, DMEM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). DMEM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.7 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the osmolality of DMEM, high glucose (Cat. No. 11965xxx)?

We do provide osmolality information on the certificate of analysis. All lots of DMEM, high glucose (Cat. No. 11965xxx) will meet the osmolality specification of 320-355 mOsm/kg.

What is the manganese concentration in DMEM? Do you offer manganese-free DMEM?

Manganese is not present in the formulation of our catalog DMEM media products.

What is the shelf life of the DMEM, high glucose, pyruvate medium once the bottle is opened and the medium is supplemented?

We do not provide stability data for the product once it is opened as it would depend on the usage and storage conditions.

Is it necessary to store DMEM, high glucose, pyruvate medium in the dark?

Yes, the medium should be stored in the dark because there are some components in the medium such as HEPES, Tryptophan, and Riboflavin, etc. that are sensitive to light.

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.

Abstract
Identification of a novel redox-sensitive gene, Id3, which mediates angiotensin II-induced cell growth.
Authors:Mueller Cornelius; Baudler Stephanie; Welzel Hilke; Böhm Michael; Nickenig Georg;
Journal:Circulation
PubMed ID:12021231
BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide (O(2)(-)), are involved in the abnormal growth of various cell types. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is one of the most potent inducers of oxidative stress in the vasculature. The molecular events involved in Ang II-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are ... More
Regulation of cortical dendrite development by Slit-Robo interactions.
Authors:Whitford Kristin L; Marillat Valérie; Stein Elke; Goodman Corey S; Tessier-Lavigne Marc; Chédotal Alain; Ghosh Anirvan;
Journal:Neuron
PubMed ID:11779471
Slit proteins have previously been shown to regulate axon guidance, branching, and neural migration. Here we report that, in addition to acting as a chemorepellant for cortical axons, Slit1 regulates dendritic development. Slit1 is expressed in the developing cortex, and exposure to Slit1 leads to increased dendritic growth and branching. ... More
