Description
MEM-Eagle without L-glutamine is a Minimum Essential Medium formulated as a nutrient-enriched modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME). It contains higher concentrations of essential amino acids and other nutrients, supporting the cultivation of a wide range of adherent cells grown in monolayers. The medium is prepared with Earle’s salts, phenol red as pH indicator and sodium bicarbonate buffer, while deliberately omitting L-glutamine to allow flexible supplementation according to specific cell-culture protocols. This composition makes it suitable for diverse mammalian cell lines used in research and production settings. Supplied by manufacturer Sartorius, the ready-to-use liquid medium offers a reliable basal formulation that can be customised with glutamine or stable glutamine analogues as required. Its balanced inorganic salt system and indicator dye facilitate routine monitoring of culture conditions. The product is intended for laboratory cell-culture applications where controlled nutrient supply and pH visualisation are important. One unit provides a convenient volume for standard incubator work.

Questions about MEM Eagle (Earle's) 500ml
What is this article?
MEM Eagle (Earle's) 500ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Sartorius for laboratory use. It sits in Click chemistry, bioconjugation & synthesis reagents, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Click and bioconjugation reagents join two molecules under mild conditions, often an azide to an alkyne, or an NHS ester to an amine. The linker length and the reactive group are the specification. They are small bottles of a reactive compound, and moisture often ruins them.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
