Application

Generally used to grow attached cell lines, such as fibroblasts, in the presence of FBS, calf or horse sera. The L-glutamine and sodium bicarbonate are added to the medium after dilution to 1x and pH adjustment.
Minimum Essential Medium Eagle has been used for the formulation of collagen methacrylamide (hydrogel).[1][2][3][4] It has also been used to maintain articular cartilage of bovine knee joints, which was later used for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) study and histological analysis.[5]

Reconstitution

Supplement with 0.292 g/L L-glutamine, 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate at 1×.

MEM (Minimum Essential Medium Eagle)

A large selection of MEM formulations. Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), developed by Harry Eagle, is one of the most widely used of all synthetic cell culture media.

Questions

  1. If I have 10x Medium, how can I dilute it in order to have 1x and grow cells?

    1 answer

    1. Since certain components in 10X medium concentrates precipitate at pH 7.0, it is necessary to adjust the pH of these solutions to maintain solubility.
      Therefore, it may be necessary for the user to adjust the pH of the 1X preparation with sterile 1 N NaOH or 1 N HCl. Procedure For Dilution to 1X (1 Liter):
      (NOTE: Dilution of 10X solutions should be performed with sterile containers, components, and equipment.)
      • Aseptically measure out approximately 850 ml of tissue culture grade water into an appropriate size container.
      • While gently stirring the water, add 100 ml of 10X medium.
      • To the solution, add the required amount of sodium bicarbonate ( 0.35 g/L) and L-glutamine (0.1 g/L), at 1X
      • While stirring, adjust the solution to desired pH with 1 N NaOH or 1 N HCl.
      • Bring medium to final volume with additional tissue culture grade water.
      • It is recommended to sterile filter the prepared medium through a 0.22 ?m sterile membrane, or, for example, a Stericup.
      • Aseptically dispense into sterile containers. Store refrigerated at 2-8° C
