The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standard. For supply chain continuity, we offer an identical Gibco™ RPMI 1640 product made in our Grand Island facility (72400-120). This facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standards.RPMI 1640 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, RPMI 1640 requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). RPMI 1640 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.0 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO_2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
