Description
E-MEM, also known as the minimum essential medium, contains only 12 essential amino acids, glutamine, and 8 vitamins. It is a basic and widely used animal cell culture medium. Made from Earle’s balanced salts, it contains no glutamine, no phenol red, and no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, it requires the addition of nutritional supplements, typically 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for use. A version containing glutamine and phenol red is also available.
