Description

Opti-MEM™ Reduced-Serum Medium is an improved Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) that allows for a reduction of Fetal Bovine Serum supplementation by at least 50% with no change to growth rate or morphology. Opti-MEM™ is also recommended for use with cationic lipid transfection reagents, such as Lipofectamine™ reagent. Opti-MEM™ can be used with a variety of suspension and adherent mammalian cells, including Sp2, AE-1, CHO, BHK-21, HEK, and primary fibroblasts. We offer a variety of Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ modifications for a range of cell culture applications. For more information, please contact Technical Services.

Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ is a unique media that contains insulin, transferrin, hypoxanthine, thymidine, and trace elements. These additional components allow for a reduction in serum supplementation by at least 50%. Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ with GlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format.

cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility, located in Paisley, Scotland, UK. 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™ Opti-MEM™ product made in our Grand Island facility (31985-070). This facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standards.

Gibco™ Opti-MEM™ uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.4 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO₂ environment to maintain physiological pH.
