“DMEM”

DMEM, High Glucose is a widely used basal medium for supporting the growth of many different mammalian cells. This formulation contains high glucose, L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate, and sodium bicarbonate.

DMEM/F12 Media, with HEPES and L-Glutamine is a basal formulation used for supporting the growth of various stem cells including human ESCs and hiPSCs.

DMEM/F12 basal media is typically used as a basal formulation in low-serum and serum-free media formulations, when culturing hPSCs and 3D organoids. This formulation is with L-glutamine.

RPMI 1640 Medium was originally developed to culture human leukemic cells in suspension and as a monolayer. This formulation is modified with L-glutamine and Phenol Red.
