Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM)

(18 customer reviews)

Although, Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) is specialized for rapidly proliferating, cell lines, it 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 makes it an excellent choice for adhesive cells.

    Review: I have worked directly with PurMa biologics on a number of projects ongoing in my lab. I find the media and the specialty Lipid Depleted Serum to be high quality and very consistent among batches, which is critical to our adipogenesis projects using primary stem cells. Also, the service from PurMa is outstanding for my lab.

    Review: I started my lab using the regular Gibco media components. We have shifted to Purma past 6 months and see no difference in the quality of our cell culture. Simply saying that Purma is cheaper, quicker to deliver and as good as Gibco. The best part was that Purma customized several media for our fish cell lines which was really helpful. Lastly, Seif walked through the customization of media over Zoom, that gave a lot of confidence for using those media solutions.

    Review: Reliable and dependable products. We purchased lipid-depleted FBS (LD-FBS) from PurMa Biologics and it worked great. We cross-checked the lipid content in the serum by GC-MS and Triglyceride assay and as advertised, did not find any lipids in the FBS.
