Description
- IMDM (Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium) is well suited for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell cultures including Jurkat, COS-7, and macrophage cells
- Store at 2°C to 8°C, protected from light
Modified as follows:
- With: GlutaMAX™, phenol red
- Without: α-thioglycerol, 2-mercaptoethanol
Using IMDM
- IMDM, a modification of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium, includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins
- This unique medium lacks iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate
- IMDM with GlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format
- IMDM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors therefore it requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)
- It uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.024 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH
