Alpha-MEM (aMEM) is an enhanced version of Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), enriched with non-essential amino acids, sodium pyruvate, thioctic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, and ascorbic acid.
Alpha-MEM is suitable for culturing a wide range of suspension and adherent mammalian cells, such as keratinocytes, primary rat astrocytes, and human melanoma cells. It is frequently used for mesenchymal stem cell cultures.
This version is modified with Earle’s salts and excludes sodium bicarbonate. It includes L-Glutamine.
