Collection: Alpha MEM Eagle

Minimum Essential Medium Eagle - Alpha Modification (Alpha MEM Eagle) is a different formulation of MEM Eagle and contains a higher concentration of amino acids. MEM α has a higher concentration of lipoic acid, vitamins, and pyruvate. MEM-α was developed primarily for the cultivation of hamster kidney cells, but today it is used for a broad range of mammalian cells. Among others, the αMEM promotes the growth and progeny of bone marrow cells in suspension culture and monolayer. A further possibility for MEM-alpha is the use as a separation medium or for the out-breeding of amniotic cells.
