Basal Medium Eagle (BME) in Earle’s Buffer

Background

Basal Medium Eagle (BME) in Earle’s Buffer was originally developed by Harry Eagle. this media is one of the most widely used of all synthetic cell culture media. Furthermore, BME, when properly supplemented, has demonstrated wide applicability, for supporting monolayer growth of a wide variety of normal and transformed cell lines. Moreover, PurMa Biologics manufactures BME with Earle’s as well as in Hanks’ salts for use without CO2.

Ingredients

PurMa™ BME media in Earle’s buffer contains:

Earl’s buffer includes:

  1. Calcium chloride
  2. Magnesium sulfate
  3. Potassium chloride
  4. Sodium bicarbonate
  5. Sodium chloride
  6. and lastly, Sodium Phosphate, monobasic

PurMa Biologics so far, manufactures 109 types BME in Earle’s buffer.

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. Moreover, We utilize %99 pure amino acids. This will significantly increase the consistency of your experiments. Undoubtedly, considering the highest quality, our prices certainly are extremely reasonable.

Application

BME provides an excellent nutritional capacity for suspension and adherent mammalian cells, including HeLa, BHK-21, 293, HEP-2, HT-1080, MCF-7, fibroblasts as well as  primary rat astrocytes.
