This MEM is modified as follows:With: L-glutamine, Phenol RedWithout: HEPESThe complete formulation is available.Using MEMMEM was developed by Harry Eagle, and was based on his earlier formulation of Basal Medium Eagle (BME). Many other modifications of MEM followed, including Glasgow's MEM, MEM α, DMEM, and Temin's Modification. MEM is available with Earle's salts for use in a CO_2 incubator, or with Hanks' salts for use without CO_2. This product is made with Earle's salts. MEM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, MEM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). MEM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.2 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO_2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
