Description Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) that contains higher concentrations of amino acids to more closely resemble mammalian cell composition. Supplementation of non-essential amino acids to the formulations that incorporate either Earles, Hanks or Eagles salts has broadened the usefulness of this medium.
Product Use MEM is for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Storage Store the medium at 2 - 8°C. Protect from light.
