Product Information

Product Description

RPMI-1640 is a cell culture medium developed by the Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI). This medium was originally designed specifically for lymphocytes culture, now is widely used for various normal cell and cancer cell culture, especially for cell suspension culture, and is one of the most widely used medium.

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

This product is filtered and sterilized by 0.1 μm filter membrane, pH 7.0-7.4, contains 1.1 mM D-glucose, 2.05mM L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, phenol red indicator, HEPES and sodium pyruvate.

L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is a cell culture additive, replaces the equivalent molar amount of L-glutamine in cell culture medium. It is very stable in aqueous solution and does not degrade spontaneously. Instead, it is slowly degraded to release glutamine through the peptidase secreted by cells, then absorbed and utilized by cells.

HEPES is an excellent biological buffer with no toxic effect on cells, and the medium with HEPES can maintain a constant pH range for a longer period of time.
