Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (RPMI-1640)
Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (RPMI-1640) are being used for culturing human normal and neoplastic leukocytes, HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes, carcinomas, bone marrow, as well as hybridoma cells.
Description
Background:
Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (RPMI-1640) was originally developed in 1967 by Moore et. Al at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Therefore, it has the acronym RPMI-1640. Moreover, this medium contains a great deal of phosphate which is an essential element for tumor cells due to using glycolysis as a main source of energy in cell aggregates which is one of the most useful strategies for tumor cells survival.
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. Additionally, we routinely manufacture over 1500 media . Moreover, We utilize %99 pure amino acids. This significantly increases the consistency among your experiments, and the result of your lab compared to other laboratories working on the same issues. Considering the highest quality, our prices are extremely reasonable.
Application:
RPMI-1640 medium are being successfully used for culturing human normal and neoplastic leukocytes, HeLa, Jurkat, MCF-7, PC12, PBMC, astrocytes, carcinomas, bone marrow, and hybridoma cells. The major difference between RPMI1640 and other media besides higher PH (8) is, it contains biotin, vitamin B12, and PABA. In addition to alterations in the amounts of amino acids and vitamins, inositol, and choline are present in very high concentrations.

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: We bought Premium FBS and DMEM cell culture media from PurMa Biologics. We are using them for several mammalian cell line and primary cell culture and the cell growth is perfectly fine. We are totally satisfied with the product quality. Importantly as local vendor, we can have the product available as per our demand ASAP.

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.
