Basal Medium Eagle (modified) with Hank's Salts (HBME) with L-glutamine w/o sodium carbonate, 10 L
SKU: 091003122
Basal Medium Eagle (BME) is one of the most commonly used of all cell culture media. This medium is the result of numerous studies from the late 1950's analyzing the nutrient requirements and other components essential for the growth of cells in culture. Traditionally, BME has been used in studies to measure the growth response of normal (WI-38) and transformed (HeLa) cells in monolayer culture. BME may be used for a broad variety of cell lines when properly supplemented.
