Culture Assay

Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), also known as Minimal Essential Medium, was developed by Harry Eagle based on Eagle’s Basal Medium (BME). It is a basic cell culture medium with a simple formulation and broad applicability, and is one of the most commonly used media in animal cell culture. MEM contains only 12 essential amino acids, L-glutamine, and 8 vitamins. It is primarily used for the culture of adherent cells. With appropriate formulation modifications, it can also be used for other types of cell culture.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
