Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) High Glucose is a widely used standard cell culture medium. It provides basic nutrients for the growth of a variety of mammalian cell lines, especially when supplemented with Fetal Bovine Serum. In the past, DMEM was shown to successfully cultivate primary cells, such as fibroblasts, HUVECs, neurons, smooth muscle cells, or even cell lines, such as HEK-293, HeLa, Cos-7, and PC-12. DMEM comes in various formulations, in which the composition of components may differ.
The original formulation of DMEM contains 1.0 g/L. In contrast, DMEM High Glucose has an increased glucose content of 4.5 g/L, is supplemented with L-Glutamine and Sodium Pyruvate, and comes without Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3). This formulation of DMEM comes with stable glutamine. Stable glutamine (also L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine) is a direct substitute for L-glutamine and has increased stability.
Each high-quality cell culture media by Capricorn Scientific™ is manufactured according to the original formula. We offer modifications essential to the consistent performance and stability of the culture medium. All the Capricorn Scientific™ classical DMEM variants have been tested to optimally support the growth of cells.
