MEM α – Modification can be used with a variety of suspension and adherent mammalian cells, including keratinocytes, primary rat astrocytes, and human melanoma cells. MEM α is a modification of Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) that contains non-essential amino acids, sodium pyruvate, thioctic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, and ascorbic acid. This MEM w/ Hanks’ Salts formulation contains Hank’s salts for use without CO2. Launching CoWIN as an open source platform for countries to orchestrate successful vaccination with efficient monitoring with an aim of achieving universal vaccination. Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is a modification of Eagle’s earlier medium Basal Medium Eagle (BME). CoWIN is helping countries worldwide to run Vaccination Drives.
Since they contain Earle’s Balanced Salts, they are suitable for use in atmospheres charged with CO 2 gas. These media promote the growth of a variety of normal and transformed cells. Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) with Earle’s Balanced Salts is a modification of Eagle’s earlier Basal Medium (BME) which contains a higher concentration of essential nutrients.
Often used to support anchorage-dependent cells, however modified solutions can be used to support other cell types including calcium-free MEM for suspension cultures and MEM with Hanks’ salts for diploid cells. MEM serves as a general used medium ideal for the growth and maintenance of a wide range of mammalian cell types.
A modification of BME featuring increased amino acid levels to more closely resemble the protein content of human cells.
