EMEM

Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) is based on the Basal Medium (BME) formulated by Harry Eagle. For the in vitro cultivation of human and animal cells, Harry Eagle improved its original BME formulation and developed EMEM, which contains a higher content of amino acids (13 essential amino acids), vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, folic acid, pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, choline, inositol), glucose and various salts. The synthetic cell culture medium provides a high-quality basis for cultivating a wide range of human and animal cell lines.

We offer EMEM with various supplements such as non-essential amino acids (NEAA) or Earle's or Hank's salts. Find the EMEM that suits you best!

Since EMEM does not contain proteins, growth factors or lipids, we recommend adding 10% fetal calf serum (FBS) to the medium for guaranteed success in cell cultivation.
