<\/p>\nPurMa\u2122 Chemically Defined CD MEM Alpha in Hanks\u2019 Buffer (CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS) is a proprietary formulation used to grow cells in vitro without any undefined or animal-derived components. Moreover,\u00a0CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS Medium contains known quantities of pure chemicals, including amino acids, vitamins, salts, sugars, and more importantly a proprietary combination of synthetic growth factors.<\/p>\n
It is absolutely crucial to mention that the PurMa\u2122 Growth Supplement for each conventional media such as DMEM, IMDM, RPMI-1640\u2026 (base media) are slightly different in combination, amount of several growth factors, ions, chemicals, pH with particular adjustments need to be done, based on the environments the base media provides.<\/p>\n
This provides a consistent and controlled environment for cell growth and research. Noticeably, CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS Medium is essential for applications that require reproducibility and regulatory compliance as well as for studying specific cellular processes without extraneous variables. Furthermore, CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS Medium is designed for custom formulations tailored for various cell types<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is crucially vital, for a gradual transition from media containing FBS to chemically defined cell culture media, to follow these steps:<\/p>\n
Importantly, for each change, spin down and fully discard the media and replace it with the less percentages of FBS.<\/p>\n
Noticeably, you don\u2019t have to start with a huge number of cells (~500,000 cells\/ml). Additionally, we strongly recommend you start with more than one plate as some of the plates might get contaminated<\/p>\n
So, once the cells are kept in chemically defined Media, you should always keep them in the same chemically defined medium from the same vendor and the same formulation, even for freezing (see below).<\/p>\n
Usually, after you get your cells adapted to PurMa\u2122 <\/sup>Chemically Defined Medium you need to make several plates and freeze down several vials. The mentioned cells are adapted to chemically defined medium and when you thaw them in the first week, in addition to PurMa\u2122 Chemically Defined Medium, you need to add 10% PurMa\u2122 <\/sup>CD Booster (Cat# P3C10144).<\/p>\n The CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS Medium includes a base formulation including L- Alanine -L Glutamine : Base Formulation of CD MEM-alpha Hanks(HBSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Additionally, CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS Medium contains a proprietary synthetic cocktail of specific growth factors, hormones, and other nutrients which make it independent of any serum and any trace of animal products.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PurMa\u2122 Chemically Defined CD MEM Alpha in Hanks\u2019 Buffer (CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS) medium does not need any serum, fully synthetic and is free of any trace of animal products.\u00a0 Additionally, the cell growth with CD-MEM-\u03b1 \/HBSS Medium is equivalent to Medium+ 10% FBS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":124978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[283,606],"product_tag":[596,521,581,523,515,668,666,522,669,667],"class_list":["post-111417","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-cell-culture-media","product_cat-mem-alpha-modification-mem--in-hanks-buffer","product_tag-advanced","product_tag-advanced-mem-","product_tag-cell-culture","product_tag-hanks-buffer","product_tag-hbss","product_tag-human-transferrin","product_tag-l-alanyl-l-glutamine","product_tag-mem-","product_tag-recombinant-insulin","product_tag-serum-reduction","entry","has-media","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-variable","has-product-nav","col","span_1_of_4","owp-content-center","owp-thumbs-layout-horizontal","owp-btn-normal","owp-tabs-layout-horizontal","has-no-thumbnails"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/111417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111417"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=111417"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=111417"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purmabiologics.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=111417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Formulation<\/h2>\n
