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: The Leibovitz L-15 media were formulated to promote the cell growth in medium not balanced in CO₂. The formulations were developed with the sodium bicarbonate buffer. The Leibovitz L-15 media are buffered by a complement of salts, free base amino acids and galactose so they can be used under conditions of free gaseous exchange with the atmosphere. When properly supplemented, L-15 Medium supports established cell lines, such as HEp-2 and LLC-MK2, as well as primary explants of embryonic and adult human tissue. Many viruses also have been successfully cultivated in this medium.

Description: L-glutamine is an essential amino acid required by virtually all mammalian and insect cells grown in culture. It is a crucial component of many cell culture media and serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. However, in liquid media or stock solutions, L-glutamine can degrade relatively rapidly. L-glutamine is also more labile in cell culture solution than other amino acids.

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.

Description: FreeAdd 1X is a fully chemically defined substitute for animal serum. It provides the necessary nutritional support for cell growth, development and expression. It has been tested on a variety of cells and can be used in combination with basal medium to generate equal or even better cell culture performance.
