DESCRIPTION: Minimum Essential Medium Eagle - Alpha Modification is a different formulation of MEM Eagle with a higher concentration of amino acids, lipoic acid, vitamins, and pyruvate. MEM-alpha was developed primarily for cultivation of hamster kidney cells but is suitable for a broad range of mammalian cells. Among others, the alpha-MEM promotes the growth and progeny of bone marrow cells in suspension culture and monolayer. MEM-alpha is also used as a separation medium or for the out-breeding of amniotic cells.
