Description

Kaighn’s Modification of Ham’s F-12-K Medium

Background

Kaighn’s Modification of Ham’s F-12-K Medium is a modified version of Ham’s F-12 medium. originally,  Ham’s F-12K (Kaighn’s) was used for primary cells such as human oocytes and hepatocytes, as well murine and chicken liver cells in a lower serum environment. but, however, recently this media is used for a much larger variety of cells.

Moreover, Ham’s F-12K (Kaighn’s) Medium contains a variety of components not found in older media, such as putrescine thymidine, hypoxanthine, zinc, and higher levels of all amino acids and sodium pyruvate.

Ingredients:

F-12K Medium also contains:

–  Low level of glucose (1.26 g/ liter)

–  Sodium bicarbonate (2.5 g/L) (if higher than 5% CO2 is used, a higher % of sodium bicarbonate is needed).

– Additionally, PurMa Biologics also offers F-12K Medium with different level of  sodium bicarbonate : 1.5 g/L (Cat # P3S057108) as well as, 3.7g/L (Cat # P3S032108)

–  2 mM L-glutamine (292 mg/L)’

– A higher concentration of amino acids, vitamins, inositol and choline are present in this medium.

Why PurMa Biologics? Why we stand behind our Cell Culture Media:

Our products are the outcome of 30 years of experience in cutting edge cell and tissue culture science.  Also, we utilize %99 pure amino acids. This will significantly increase the consistency among your experiments, and the result of your lab compared to other laboratories working on the same issues.

We routinely manufacture over 1500 media, which is the most comprehensive collection of cell and tissue culture media. Considering the highest quality, our prices are extremely reasonable.

Application of Ham’s F-12K:

This media has elements that prevent clumping, therefore, it is ideal for culturing primary as well as commercial cell lines, for instance normal and neoplastic leukocytes, HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes, carcinomas, bone marrow, and hybridoma cells.
