Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mix, GlutaMAX™ Supplement (Gibco™)
Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture (F-12) was designed for serum-free single-cell plating of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. F-12 has since been used for serum-free growth of CHO cultures as well as serum-supplemented growth of other mammalian cells, including chondrocytes and rat prostate epithelial cells. We offer a variety of Gibco® F-12 modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.
The complete formulation is available.
Compared to other basal media, F-12 contains a wider variety of components, including zinc, putrescine, hypoxanthine, and thymidine. Serum-free growth of CHO cells in F-12 has led to a variety of improved formulations. Gibco® F-12 with GlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format.
cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
For supply chain continuity, we manufacture Gibco® F-12 at two separate facilities located in Grand Island, NY and Scotland, UK. Both sites are compliant with cGMP manufacturing requirements, are certified to ISO 13485, and are registered with the FDA as medical device manufacturers.
Gibco® F-12 contains no proteins or growth factors. Therefore, F-12 requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (1.176 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
This Ham's F-12 is modified as follows:
| With |
| • GlutaMAX™ |
| • Phenol Red |

Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mix (Gibco™)
Le mélange de nutriments F-12 de Ham a été conçu pour l’étalement monocellulaire sans sérum des cellules ovariennes de hamster (CHO). Depuis, le F-12 a été utilisé pour la croissance sans sérum de cultures de CHO, ainsi que pour la croissance avec sérum d’autres cellules de mammifère, notamment de chondrocytes et de cellules épithéliales de prostate de rat. Nous proposons tout un éventail de modifications du F-12 pour une gamme d’applications de culture cellulaire. Trouvez la formulation la mieux adaptée à l’aide de l’outil de sélection de milieux de culture.
Ce F-12 de Ham est modifié comme suit :
La formulation complète est disponible.
Utilisation du F-12
Par rapport à d’autres milieux basaux, le F-12 contient un plus grand nombre de composants en termes de diversité, notamment du zinc, de la putrécine, de l’hypoxanthine et de la thymidine. Le F-12 ne contient aucune protéine ni facteur de croissance. C’est pourquoi, le F-12 nécessite une supplémentation, en général avec 10 % de sérum de veau fœtal (SVF). Le F-12, un système de tampon au bicarbonate de sodium (1,176 g/l), nécessite donc un environnement contenant 5 à 10 % de CO2 pour préserver le pH physiologique.
Fabrication et système de qualité conformes aux BPFa
Pour assurer la continuité de la chaîne logistique, nous fabriquons le F-12 sur deux sites différents : l’un situé à Grand Island, NY, aux États-Unis, et l’autre en Écosse, au Royaume-Uni. Les deux sites sont conformes aux BPFa, certifiés ISO 13485 et homologués par la FDA comme fabricants de dispositifs médicaux.

Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium (Gibco™)
Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium is a modification of Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture. Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium was developed for primary human hepatocytes, as well as for some rat and chicken liver cells in a reduced serum environment.
This F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium is manufactured as follows:
The complete formulation is available.
Using Ham's F-12K
Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium contains many components not found in traditional basal media, such as putrescine, thymidine, hypoxanthine, zinc, and higher levels of all amino acids and sodium pyruvate. These additions allow the medium to be supplemented with very low levels of serum or defined components, for some cell types. Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium contains no proteins or growth factors, and is therefore often supplemented with growth factors and Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). The FBS concentration must be optimized for each cell line. Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.5 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
Dual-site cGMP manufacturing
For supply chain continuity, we manufacture Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium at two separate facilities, located in Grand Island, NY and Scotland, UK. Both sites are compliant with cGMP-manufacturing requirements, are certified to ISO 13485, and are registered with the FDA as medical device manufacturers.
This F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium is manufactured as follows:
