MEL06 Minimum Essential Medium (Modification 6) Solution (MEM) contains Earle’s salts and L-glutamine and is used in animal cell culture to support the growth and maintenance of mammalian cells. Key points include:
1. Basic Nutrients: Provides essential nutrients like amino acids, vitamins, salts, and glucose.
2. Earle’s Salts: Maintains osmotic balance and supplies essential ions, helping to maintain physiological pH with sodium bicarbonate as a buffering agent.
3. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of cell types, including primary and established cell lines, both adherent and suspension cells.
4. Supplementation: Often supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS), growth factors, or other specific components depending on cell requirements.
5. Applications: Used for cell maintenance, proliferation studies, cytotoxicity assays, and metabolic studies.
**Disclaimer:** Results may vary depending on specific cell lines, specifications, and experimental conditions. Consult with cell culture specialists and review comprehensive literature to tailor MEL06’s use to your specific research needs.
