General description

Medium 199 is a combination of vitamins, amino acids, and other factors that were originally developed as a completely defined media formulation for the culture of primary explants. This medium, when properly supplemented has broad applicability, particularly for non-transformed cells. Medium 199 is widely used for vaccine production, in vitro cultivation of primary pancreatic explants, and lens tissues.

Application

Medium 199 has been used to:

  • maintain the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) before maturation and for culturing of these oocytes for in vitro maturation
  • to rinse the aspiration line during the collection of the ovum from German Holstein cows
  • to culture cardiac endothelial cells from rats

Quantity

Formulated to contain 14.7 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
