Minimum Essential Medium 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 approximate the…

Synthetically Defined media known as Yeast Nitrogen Base Media for the growth of Yeast cells were first cited by Wickerham (1,2). Synthetic defined (SD) Growth Medium include a yeast nitrogen base along with ammonium sulfate, and a carbon source, which is further supplemented with various amino…

Leibovitz's Medium was specifically designed to grow cells in a CO2 free atmosphere. The standard sodium bicarbonate/CO2 buffering system is replaced by combination of free basic amino acids, phosphate buffers and higher levels of galactose and sodium pyruvate. As a result, the medium does not…

William's Medium E was developed by Williams and Gunn for the isolation and long term maintenance of adult rat liver epithelial cells. The medium is a rich modification of William's medium D and was developed during studies performed to explore the possibilities of culturing adult liver…
