Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), High glucose w/ 4.5gms Glucose per litre, 1mM Sodium pyruvate, L-Glutamine and 1.5 gms per litre Sodium bicarbonate w/o Phenol red

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) 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 nitrate. The original formulation contains 1000mgs/L of glucose and was originally used to culture embryonic mouse cells. DMEM high glucose is a further modification of original DMEM and contains 4500mgs/L of glucose. The additional glucose has proved to be useful in cultivating various other cell lines including primary cultures of mouse and chicken cells as well as various normal and transformed cell lines. AL101 is Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 4.5gms glucose per liter, sodium pyruvate and sodium bicarbonate. It does not contain L-glutamine and phenol red.
