Growth Media (DMEM, RPMI, etc.)

Growth media are essential reagents in cell biology and biomedical research, providing the nutrients, salts, and buffering agents required to support the in vitro cultivation of cells. This subcategory includes widely used basal media formulations such as DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium), RPMI-1640 (Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium), MEM (Minimum Essential Medium), F-12, and others, each tailored to specific cell types and experimental conditions. These media are foundational in workflows involving mammalian cell culture, including primary cells, immortalized cell lines, and stem cells, as well as genetic engineering, drug screening, toxicology, vaccine development, and bioproduction of biologics like monoclonal antibodies or recombinant proteins. Researchers in oncology, immunology, virology, neuroscience, and regenerative medicine rely on consistent and high-quality growth media for reproducible results. Products listed in this category may include liquid or powdered formulations, custom or modified media, and media with or without supplements like glucose, phenol red, or antibiotics. Even though surplus or unused media listed on Wasteless Bio may come from secondary sources, our platform facilitates transparent transactions between trusted lab partners, helping reduce unnecessary waste while supporting rigorous research. Sourcing growth media through Wasteless Bio enables labs to lower procurement costs, minimize environmental impact, and contribute to more sustainable scientific practiceswithout compromising on research quality. Whether scaling up for production or optimizing lab spend, this category serves as a critical backbone for life science workflows across academia, biotech, and pharmaceutical R&D.
