The complete formulation is available.
Gibco™ DMEM / F-12 is a 1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12. This formulation combines DMEM's high concentrations of glucose, amino acids and vitamins with F-12's wide variety of components.
Using DMEM/F-12
DMEM / F-12 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, DMEM / F-12 may require supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). DMEM / F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system and therefore requires a 5-10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
Powder forms of Gibco™ cell culture medium require sodium bicarbonate supplementation, pH adjustment, and filtration at the time of preparation (see protocol for details).
Please note that the shelf life on delivered products varies. This product has a minimum shelf life of 6 months at time of shipment. For more information regarding product shelf life, including details on specific product lots, please contact Customer Service.
