Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium:Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM / F-12) is a widely used basal medium for supporting the growth of many different mammalian cells. Cells successfully cultured in DMEM / F-12 include MDCK, glial cells, fibroblasts, human endothelial cells, and rat fibroblasts. We offer a variety of Gibco™ DMEM / F-12 modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.

This DMEM / F-12 is modified as follows:

With
• L-glutamine
• HEPES
• Phenol Red


The complete formulation is available.Gibco™ DMEM / F-12 is a 1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12. This formulation combines DMEM's high concentrations of glucose, amino acids, and vitamins with F-12's wide variety of components.

DMEM / F-12 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, DMEM / F-12 may require supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). DMEM / F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system and therefore requires a 5-10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.

For Research Use or Further Manufacturing. Not for diagnostic use or direct administration into humans or animals.
