Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ is a unique media that contains insulin, transferrin, hypoxanthine, thymidine, and trace elements. These additional components allow for a reduction in serum supplementation by at least 50%.

Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.4 g/L) 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).
