Requires
Supplementation
IMDM (Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium) is well suited for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell cultures, including Jurkat, COS-7, and macrophage cells. We offer a variety of IMDM modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.
This IMDM is modified as follows:
With: L-glutamine, Phenol Red
Without: α-thioglycerol, 2-mercaptoethanol
The complete formulation is available.
Using IMDM
IMDM, a modification of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins. In addition, this unique medium lacks iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate. IMDM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, IMDM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). IMDM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.024 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
