    Advanced Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium/F-12 (A-DMEMF-12)

    Background:

    PurMa Advanced Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/F-12 (A-DMEM F-12) contains components that allow for a 60–90% reduction in FBS supplementation. More importantly, using synthetic components such as recombinant insulin, albumin, and transferrin increase consistency. This results in less variation amongst lot-to-lot serum changes.  In Advanced DMEM F-12, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is used as the source of glutamine.  Additionally, reducing FBS requirements lowers the cost of cell culture experiments.

    A-DMEM F-12 Contains:

    • Advanced Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/F-12 (A-DMEM F-12) contains all the twenty essential and non-essential amino acids with higher concentrations than regular and MAX formulations.
    • It includes the elements which significantly reduce the need for a serum for cell culture.

    Crucial Ingredients:

    • PurMaTM Human Transferrin (Holo): prevents improper iron storage and delivery in cell culture systems which is a major contributor to oxidative stress and protein damage.
    • PurMaTM Insulin Recombinant
    • Trace of other elements which mimic the elements in fetal bovine serum.
    Additionally, A-DMEM F-12 is a significant step toward a chemically defined form of this media. Undoubtedly, Chemically Defined DMEM F-12 (CD-DMEMF-12) is the outcome of decades of cutting-edge research. CD-DMEM F-12 will soon be offered globally to laboratories who are looking for consistency and repeatability among their data. Formulation: Complete formulation is available here: Advanced DMEM-F12 Formulation

    Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium/F-12 MAX (DMEM F12-MAX)

    Background:

    Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium/F-12 MAX (DMEM F12-MAX) is a commonly used media for Mammalian cell culture.

    Advantages:

    DMEM F-12 MAX over DMEM:

    • Higher PH Capacity
    • Moreover, it contains 4 mM L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine (0.869 g/L) instead of L-Glutamine and therefore:
    • Possess longer shelf life.
    • More importantly, minimizes toxic ammonia build-up.
    • Significantly improves cell viability and growth.
    • Remains stable across a wide range of temperatures.
    • Improves the culture of primary cells.

    Mechanism:

    Although L-glutamine is a vital amino acid, it degrades, resulting in the generation of toxic ammonia and pyrrolidine carboxylic acid. One way to minimize L-glutamine degradation in media is to gradually add these amino acids to your cell culture. However, keeping track of time to keep the amount of L-glutamine at the same level is tedious, if not impossible. Alternatively, L-alanyl-L-glutamine can be used because it is much more stable in aqueous solutions. More importantly, it does not easily degrade and gradually releases aminopeptidases. As a result, L-glutamine and L-alanine are then used by the cells for protein production in the TCA cycle. In addition to our Max formulation products, we manufacture PurMaTM GluaSup (Cat# P3S210 559) is a combination of L-alanyl-L-glutamine which prevents degradation of L-glutamine.

    • Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium/F-12 MAX (DMEM F12-MAX) contains:
    • 5 mM sodium pyruvate
    • High glucose (4.5g/L)
    • Non-Essential Amino Acids
    • 3.7 g/L Sodium Bicarbonate; PurMa Biologics Manufactures several types of DMEM F12-MAX based on the amount of Sodium Bicarbonate and HEPES (PH capacity)
    • Phenol Red
    DMEM F12-MAX contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, it requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal bovine Serum (FBS).

DMEM-F-12 (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium Nutrient-Mixture F-12) provides superior quality, consistency, and great control in mammalian cell culture.

This formulation combines DMEM’s high concentrations of glucose, amino acids, and vitamins as well as much more variation of salts with DMEM-F-12 ’s wide variety of components.

This media is better than DMEM and advanced IMDM on MDCK, glial cells, fibroblasts, human endothelial cells, and rat fibroblasts. It contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, it requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

In general, DMEM- F-12 is more enriched but contains the following major changes compared to DMEM:

  • 2.5 mM L-glutamine,
  • 0.5 mM sodium pyruvate,
  • 30mM NaHCO3 (2.438g/L)
    High glucose,
  • Non-Essential Amino Acids,
  • Sodium pyruvate,
  • Phenol Red
  • L-glutamine

In some formulations, the concentration of sodium bicarbonate used is lower than DMEM, therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
