Advanced MEM Alpha-Modification (A-MEM-α) in Hanks’ Buffer
Advanced MEM Alpha-Modification (A-MEM-α) in Hanks’ Buffer contains L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine as well as ingredients to allow for serum reduction. Additionally, Advanced MEM-α needs 2-5% FBS and provides more consistency.
Description
Advanced MEM Alpha-Modification (A-MEM-α) in Hanks’ Buffer
Background
PurMaTM Advanced MEM Alpha-Modification (A-MEM-α) in Hanks’ Buffer contains components to provide a 60–90% reduction in FBS supplementation. More importantly, using synthetic components such as recombinant insulin, albumin, and transferrin increases consistency. Consequently, this results in less variation amongst lot-to-lot serum changes. L-alanyl-l-glutamine is the source of glutamine in Advanced MEM-α. Additionally, reducing the requirement for FBS lowers the cost of cell culture experiments.
Contents
Advanced MEM-α in HBSS Contains:
- includes all twenty essential and non-essential amino acids with higher concentrations than regular and MAX formulations.
- A-MEM-α incorporates elements that 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.
Consequently, Advanced MEM Alpha-Modification (A-MEM-α) in Hanks’ Buffer is a significant step toward a chemically defined form of this media. Unquestionably, Chemically Defined Advanced MEM-α (CD-A-MEM-α) is the outcome of decades of innovative cutting-edge research and will soon be offered globally to laboratories that are looking for consistency and repeatability in their data.
