Product introduction
RPMI in RPMI-1640 stands for Roswell Park Memorial Institute, which developed a cell culture medium. Originally designed specifically for lymphocyte culture, this medium has been widely used in the culture of various normal cells and cancer cells, especially suspended cells, and is one of the most widely used media.
This product contains many kinds of amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts and other ingredients needed for cell culture, without protein or growth factors, and needs to be used with 5-10% serum or no serum additives according to the type of cell.
This product was filtered by 0.1 μm membrane for sterilization, pH 7.0-7.4, containing 11.1 mM D-glucose, adding 2.05 mM GLUTamax-I, containing phenol red indicator, containing 25 mM HEPES buffer system, without sodium pyruvate.
Glutamax-i, l-alanyl-L-glutamine, is a cell culture additive, which can replace L-glutamine in cell culture medium. The substance is very stable in aqueous solution, and does not degrade spontaneously. Instead, it is slowly degraded by a peptide enzyme secreted by cells to release glutamine, which is then absorbed and utilized by cells.
HEPES is an excellent biological buffer, which has no toxic effect on cells. The medium added with HEPES can maintain a constant pH range for a long time.
Storage and transportation
Normal temperature transportation; Stored at 2~8℃, valid for 12 months.
Matters needing attention
1. The product is filtered and sterilized, and sterile operation should be paid attention to when using to avoid contamination;
