37. DMEM, High Glucose, GlutaPlus, no Phenol Red

Product Information

Product Description

Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), is a modified medium based on MEM, 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, HUVEC and smooth muscle cells, as well as cell lines such as HeLa, 293, Cos-7 and PC-12.

This product contains amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts and other ingredients required for cell culture, without protein or growth factors. Add 5-10% serum or serum-free additives depending on the cell type.

L-alanyl-L-glutamine, a cell culture additive, replaces medium molar L-glutamine in cell culture medium. The substance is very stable in aqueous solution and does not degrade spontaneously, it is slowly degraded by a peptidase secreted by the cells to release glutamine, which is then absorbed and used by the cells, avoidance of toxicity to cells from spontaneous degradation of L-glutamine.

Phenol Red is the most commonly used pH indicator in cell culture medium and is used to continuously monitor the pH of the culture medium. When the pH of the culture medium is low, the culture medium appears orange to yellow, when the pH is high, the culture medium appears purple-red. The culture medium is red when the pH is 7.0-7.4, it is most suitable for cell culture. Phenol Red is a structural analogue of steroid hormone. Studies have shown that phenol red added to the medium mimics the effects of steroid hormones (especially estrogen) and therefore when used in estrogen-sensitive cells, for example, for breast tissue cells, it is best to use a phenol red-free medium. In addition, phenol red also can interfere with flow cytometry analytical assays.

This product is filtered and sterilized by 0.1 μm filter membrane, pH 7.0-7.4, contains 25 mM D-glucose,  4.0 mM L-alanyl-L-glutamine, 1.0 mM sodium pyruvate, without phenol red indicator and HEPES buffer system.
