William’s E Medium
Williams′ Medium E has been used for primary and also commercial cell lines including: primary liver epithelial cells, HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes ,carcinomas as well as hybridoma cells.
Description
Background
Williams′ Medium E is a modification version of Williams′ Medium D by Williams and Gunn. Although, it is like MEM, but there is difference in glucose as well as amino acid contents. This media was originally used to isolate and culture primary liver epithelial cells from Epithelial-like cells of fibroblast-like cells culture. It has been shown that this medium is suited for longer term adult primary cell culture.
PurMa™ William’s E Medium is
- Suited for long term culture.
- Enriched in amino acids.
- Double the glucose compared to the original formulation.
- Moreover, contains unique ingredients, including zinc, iron, manganese, non-essential amino acids, the reducing agent glutathione as well as lipid methyl linoleate
Moreover, PurMa™ William’s E Medium also contains:
- Low level of glucose (2.00 g/ liter). PurMa Biologics manufacturers the high glucose (4.5 g/L) version of this media as well (Cat #: P3S029880)
- Although the standard formulation contains 2.2 g/L Sodium bicarbonate, but PurMa Biologics manufacturers the high sodium bicarbonate (3.7 g/L) Williams′ Medium E as well (Cat #: P3S032880)
- 2 mM L-glutamine (292 mg/L)’
PurMa Biologics manufactures 112 types of William’s E Medium which is certainly the most comprehensive catalog of media.
Why PurMa Biologics? Why we stand behind our cell culture media:
Our products are the outcome of 30 years of experience in cutting edge science. We routinely manufacture over 1500 media. We have the most comprehensive collection of cell and tissue culture media. We utilize %99 pure amino acids. This will significantly increase the consistency among your experiments, and the result of your lab. Considering the highest quality, our prices are extremely reasonable.
Application of William’s E Medium
This media has elements supporting long term culturing of primary cells.. It utilizes a bicarbonate buffering system. This media has been used for primary as well as commercial cell lines including: primary liver epithelial cells, HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes ,carcinomas as well as hybridoma cells.

Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.

Review: I started my lab using the regular Gibco media components. We have shifted to Purma past 6 months and see no difference in the quality of our cell culture. Simply saying that Purma is cheaper, quicker to deliver and as good as Gibco. The best part was that Purma customized several media for our fish cell lines which was really helpful. Lastly, Seif walked through the customization of media over Zoom, that gave a lot of confidence for using those media solutions.

Review: We bought Premium FBS and DMEM cell culture media from PurMa Biologics. We are using them for several mammalian cell line and primary cell culture and the cell growth is perfectly fine. We are totally satisfied with the product quality. Importantly as local vendor, we can have the product available as per our demand ASAP.

Review: Reliable and dependable products. We purchased lipid-depleted FBS (LD-FBS) from PurMa Biologics and it worked great. We cross-checked the lipid content in the serum by GC-MS and Triglyceride assay and as advertised, did not find any lipids in the FBS.
