Description: RPMI are general purpose enriched media with extensive applications for a broad spectrum of mammalian and hybridoma cells, including human myeloma, mouse hybridoma, human leukocytes, and B and T lymphocytes. It was originally formulated for suspension cultures and monolayer culture of human leukaemia cells.

Description: Studies to determine the nutritional requirements of many cells have been in progress since Eagle's first reports. The major essential nutrients were identified, and work became focussed on the media requirements of individual cell types. Many media designed for these purposes are now available. Among the first of these media, developed initially to study hormonal requirements of cells in culture, was a mixture of DMEM and Ham's F12 medium, known as DMEM-Ham's F12.

Description: Versene can be used instead of trypsin. It is a chelating agent that disperses the cells by cutting the cytoplasmic bridges between them. Versene has the advantage of being able to withstand autoclave temperature, which is a guarantee of sterility. In addition, it is less aggressive cells than trypsin, which is useful for studies on cell growth.

Description: These irrigating buffers and salt solutions are sterile, physiological balanced solutions intended for use in the maintenance of mammalian cells, where a chemically defined, balanced salt solution provides an environment that will maintain the structural and physiological integrity of cells <i>in vitro</i>. Applications include the intermediate steps for cultivation of cells, like washing, centrifugation, suspending and counting, as well as for many analytical methods or biochemical treatments. Principally these solutions should be used to keep the cells in suspension only for minutes or a few hours maximum. These buffers and solutions are not cell culture media.

Description: In 1976, Guilbert and Iscove demonstrated that precursor cells of erythrocytes and macrophages could be cultured in a reduced-serum medium supplemented with albumin, transferrin, lecithin, and selenium. Iscove's medium is a modification of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DME) containing selenium, additional amino acids and vitamins, sodium pyruvate, HEPES buffer, and potassium nitrate instead of ferric nitrate. Further studies have demonstrated that Iscove's medium will support murine B lymphocytes, haemopoietic tissue from bone marrow, B-cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, T-lymphocytes, and a variety of hybrid cells.

Description: McCoy’s media were originally formulated for growth and support of lymphocytes. This final modification produced a medium identical to RPMI 1629. McCoy's 5A media supports the indefinite proliferation of Walker 256 carcinoma cells. In addition, it is excellent for the propagation of leukocytes, biopsy tissues, a broad range of human and rat normal or transformed cell types, the most current primary and continuous cell lines.

Description: Newborn Calf Serum (NBCS) originates from 3 to 10 day old calves. It is a high quality, cost effective replacement for Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and contains a somewhat higher proportion of proteins and immunoglobulin, but fewer growth factors. With proper cell adaptation, it has been shown to perform very well in cell culture applications where routine cell growth and cell culture maintenance is the objective.
