TNM-FH medium is a modification of Grace's insect medium. The modification was developed by Dr. W. F. Hink to grow Cabbage looper cell line TN-368. Presently, this medium is used to grow cells derived from a variety of lepidopterans species. IM008 is supplemented with lactalbumin hydrolysate and…

Molecular Biology Water is prepared by reverse osmosis, passed through fine carbon, deionized through two resin beds, and serially filtered through 0.1 µm positively charged membranes, to yield a product with an endotoxin level of less than 0.03 EU/mL. DNase, RNase and protease tested Endotoxin…

IPL-41 is a modification of Goodwin's original IPL formulation. It was developed by Weiss et al of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Insect Pathology Laboratory for large scale propagation of a cell line derived from fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. Weiss supplemented the basal…

Schneider's insect medium has been specially formulated for the in vitro culture of Drosophila melanogaster cells and tissues. A number of cell lines derived from Drosophila melanogaster are now available and are extensively used in genetic and molecular biology research. Drosophila cells are also…

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium is one of the most widely used modification of Eagles medium. DMEM is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) that contains four fold concentration of amino acids and vitamins. Additionally, the formulation also includes glycine, serine and ferric nitrate.…

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium /Nutrient Mixture F12 Ham (DMEM/F12, 1:1 mixture) was originally formulated for rat neuroblastoma cells and MDCK cells. The mixture is extremely nutritious and supports growth of a wide variety of cells including certain epithelial, endothelial and granulosa cells. …

Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME). It was developed by Harry Eagle to meet the specific nutritional requirements of certain subtypes of Hela cells and normal mammalian fibroblasts. MEM includes higher concentration of amino acids so as to closely…

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium is one of the most widely used modification of Eagle's medium. DMEM is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) that contains four fold concentration of amino acids and vitamins. Additionally, the formulation also includes glycine, serine and ferric…

D-22 medium (1976) is the final modification of the original D20 medium developed by Echalier and Ohanessian (1970). The medium composition closely initiates the principal characteristics of the body fluid of Drosophila 3rd instar larvae. This medium has been extensively used to grow many…

Basal Medium Eagle developed by Harry Eagle is a combination of essential nutrients in appropriate concentrations for monolayer cultivation of a wide variety of normal and transformed cells. The medium was initially developed as a result of studies to determine the nutritional requirements of HeLa…

Sheilds and Sang M3 medium is based on the original formula of D22 medium. The medium supports the growth of the cells derived from Drosophila melanogaster. Sheilds and Sang (1977) eliminated chloride salts present in the previous formulation and introduced potassium and sodium ions in the form of…

Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) media are a series of media developed by Moore et al for the culture of human normal and neoplastic cells in vitro. RPMI 1640 is the most commonly used medium in the series. A modification of McCoy's 5A medium, the medium was specifically designed to support…

Grace's medium is a modification of the original formula developed by Wyatt. Grace (1962) improved the medium by introducing ten water soluble vitamins in Wyatt's formula. Grace successfully established four strains of cells from ovarian tissue of Australian emperor gum moth using this medium.…

Mitsuhashi and Maramorosch Insect Medium is specially used for the growth and propogation of mosquito cell lines especially Aedes aegypticus . It was originally developed to grow cells derived from Leafhopper. Subsequently, it has been used to culture cells derived from a number of insect species.…

TC-100 is a modification done by Dr. Gardiner and Dr. Stockdale of the original formulation of Grace's insect medium. Sucrose, fructose and several Kreb's cycle intermediates were omitted from the original formula. The modification was done to optimize the production of Autographia californica NPV…
