Description
Background
Basal Medium Eagle (BME) in Earle’s Buffer originally developed by Harry Eagle. This media is one of the most widely used of all synthetic cell culture media. Furthermore, Basal Medium Eagle (BME) in Earle’s Buffer, when properly supplemented, has demonstrated wide applicability, for supporting monolayer growth of a wide variety of normal and transformed cell lines. Moreover, PurMa Biologics manufacturers BME with Earle’s as well as in Hanks’ salts for use without CO2.
Ingredients
PurMa™ Basal Medium Eagle (BME) in Earle’s Buffer contains:
Earl’s buffer includes:
- Calcium chloride
- Magnesium sulfate
- Potassium chloride
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Sodium chloride
- and lastly, Sodium Phosphate, monobasic
PurMa Biologics so far, manufactures 109 types of 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 among your experiments. Undoubtedly, considering the highest quality, our prices certainly are extremely reasonable.
Application
Basal Medium Eagle (BME) in Earle’s Buffer 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.
