Thermo Fisher Scientific RPMI 1640 Medium, HEPES
Overview
Thermo Fisher Scientific RPMI 1640 Medium, HEPES is a liquid cell culture medium formulated for the growth and maintenance of mammalian cells in vitro. This formulation contains HEPES buffer, L-glutamine and sodium bicarbonate to support cell culture applications requiring enhanced buffering capacity. RPMI 1640 medium was originally developed for suspension cultures of human leukemic cells and is widely used with lymphoid cells, hybridomas and a range of mammalian cell lines. The product is supplied in a 500 mL bottle as a ready-to-use liquid medium.
