Although Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) is specialized for rapidly proliferating cell lines, it is certainly quite suitable for slow-growing cells as well. Moreover, this medium is the only medium that lacks Iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate, therefore making it an excellent choice for adhesive cells.
scove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) is specialized for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell lines. Therefore, it is excellent for Jurkat, Hek, COS-7, and macrophage cells. IMDM is a modified and more advanced version of DMEM. Additionally, it includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins. it is the only medium that lacks Iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate, therefore it makes it excellent for adhesive cells.

- Price range: $29.60 through $611.97
- PurMa™ Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium MAX (IMDM‑MAX) is a premium IMDM with L alanyl Lglutamine cell culture medium optimized for demanding mammalian cells. Unlike standard IMDM, IMDM‑MAX uses stable L‑alanyl‑L‑glutamine instead of L‑glutamine. This provides a longer shelf life, stronger buffering capacity, and reduced risk of contamination, helping you achieve more consistent, reliable cell culture performance.
