McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (M5AMM)
McCoy’s 5A Modified Media (M5AMM) is widely used cor tumor cells. Additionally, modified version of this media contains several folds of amino acids and vitamins compared to the original formulation.
Description
Background
McCoy’s 5A Modified Medium (M5AMM) was originally used for Walker Carcinosarcoma 256 Cells. It was subsequently modified to create a new medium known as McCoy’s 5A. Additionally, M5AMM contains several folds of amino acids and vitamins compared to the original formulation. Our McCoy’s 5A covers the main needs for your cell lines, delivers consistency, excellent quality, and the and the full control you need for mammalian cell culture.
MCCOY’S 5A Contains:
- High glucose (3g/L)
- Non-Essential Amino Acids
- Phenol Red
- L-glutamine
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
McCoy’s 5A Medium is widely used for commercial cell line as CHO, HEK 293, HeLa as wellas Jurkat cells. Moreover, PurMaTM McCoy’s Medium contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, Ham’s F-12 Medium requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

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: 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.
