Grace's Insect medium is a modification of the original formula developed by Wyatt. Grace(1962) improved the medium by introducing ten water soluble vitamins in Wyatt's formula. Grace successfully established four strains of cells from ovarian tissue of Australian emperor gum moth using this medium. IML001A can be used to culture cells derived from a variety of insects especially Lepidopterans and some species of Dipterans. It contains L-glutamine and sodium bicarbonate. Presently, the medium is supplemented with 5-20% fetal bovine serum.
