Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium was originally developed to culture human leukemic cells in suspension and as a monolayer. RPMI 1640 has since been found suitable for a variety of mammalian cells including HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes and carcinomas. We offer a variety of Gibco™ RPMI 1640 modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.

This RPMI is modified as follows:

With	Without
• L-glutamine	• HEPES
• Phenol Red	• Folic acid

The complete formulation is available.

Gibco™ RPMI 1640 is unique from other media because it contains the reducing agent glutathione and high concentrations of vitamins. RPMI 1640 contains biotin, vitamin B₁₂ and PABA which are not found in Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium or Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium. In addition, the vitamins inositol and choline are present in very high concentrations.

Product Use
For Research Use Only: Not intended for animal or human diagnostic or therapeutic use.

RPMI 1640 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, RPMI 1640 requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). RPMI 1640 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.0 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO₂ environment to maintain physiological pH.

よくあるご質問（FAQ）

How light sensitive is RPMI 1640 media? Should I also be protecting it from LED light?

While we know that different wavelengths of light are worse than others for exposure, we would recommend as a best practice to protect the medium from all forms of light exposure including LEDs, as much as possible to ensure optimal performance, as several components within the medium are light sensitive, such as vitamins.

What is the density (g/L) for RPMI 1640 Medium?

We have specific gravity information for RPMI 1640 Medium: 1.006 kg/L. In this case, the specific gravity is the same as density as the solvent is water.

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

Folate deficiency inhibits the proliferation of primary human CD8+ T lymphocytes in vitro.

Authors:Courtemanche C, Elson-Schwab I, Mashiyama ST, Kerry N, Ames BN,

Journal:J Immunol

PubMed ID:15322179

'Folate is required for one-carbon transfer reactions and the formation of purines and pyrimidines for DNA and RNA synthesis. Deficiency of folate can lead to many clinical abnormalities, including macrocytic anemia, cardiovascular diseases, birth defects, and carcinogenesis. The nucleotide imbalance due to folate deficiency causes cell cycle arrest in the ... More
