IMDM (Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium) is well suited for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell cultures, including Jurkat, COS-7, and macrophage cells. We offer a variety of IMDM modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.

This IMDM is modified as follows:

With: GlutaMAX™, Phenol Red

Without: α-thioglycerol, 2-mercaptoethanol

The complete formulation is available.

Using IMDM

IMDM, a modification of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins. In addition, 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, IMDM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). IMDM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.024 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.

For Research Use or Further Manufacturing. Not for diagnostic use or direct administration into humans or animals.

Safety Data Sheets

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Generally speaking, media can be used for up to three weeks after supplementation with serum. There are no formal studies to support this, but it is the rule of thumb used by our scientists.

We routinely ship media that require long-term storage in the refrigerator at room temperature. We have done studies on representative media formulations to show that media can be at room temperature for up to a week without a problem.

Yes. If you suspect that this is the case, remove the medium and add fresh medium. Alternatively, you can supplement medium with growth-promoting components. It is also possible to substitute GlutaMax I or II for glutamine in the medium to prevent glutamine exhaustion.

In all media containing GlutaMAX supplement dipeptides as a substitute for L-glutamine, concentration is equimolar with the L-glutamine in the original formulation.

Very often mycoplasma contamination cannot be removed from the culture so it should be discarded. You may have a unique culture that you prefer not to discard and would like to try to clean it. Ciprofloxacin and Plasmocin have reportedly been used for this application. If interested in a protocol or directions for use, check with the antibiotic supplier or published literature. Note that mycoplasma are very difficult to remove from culture and spread easily so the treated cultures should be quarantined until clear of mycoplasma, and your laboratory should be thoroughly cleaned.

Abstract
Characterization of the laminin binding domains of the Lutheran blood group glycoprotein.
Authors:El Nemer W, Gane P, Colin Y, D'Ambrosio AM, Callebaut I, Cartron JP, Van Kim CL,
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:11319237
'Lutheran (Lu) blood group antigens and the basal cell adhesion molecule antigen reside on two glycoproteins that belong to the Ig superfamily (IgSF) and carry five Ig-like extracellular domains. These glycoproteins act as widely expressed adhesion molecules and represent the unique receptors for laminin-10/11 in erythroid cells. Here, we report ... More
Specificity and affinity motifs for Grb2 SH2-ligand interactions.
Authors: Kessels Helmut W H G; Ward Alister C; Schumacher Ton N M;
Journal:Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
PubMed ID:12084912
Protein-protein interactions are often mediated by the recognition of short continuous amino acid stretches on target proteins by specific binding domains. Affinity-based selection strategies have successfully been used to define recognition motifs for a large series of such protein domains. However, in many biological systems specificity of interaction may be ... More
Antigenic and Functional Properties of the Human Red Blood Cell Urea Transporter hUT-B1.
Authors: Lucien Nicole; Sidoux-Walter Frederic; Roudier Nathalie; Ripoche Pierre; Huet Martine; Trinh-Trang-Tan Marie-Marcelle; Cartron Jean-Pierre; Bailly Pascal;
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:12093813
The Kidd (JK) blood group locus encodes the urea transporter hUT-B1, which is expressed on human red blood cells and other tissues. The common JK*A/JK*B blood group polymorphism is caused by a single nucleotide transition G838A changing Asp-280 to Asn-280 on the polypeptide, and transfection of erythroleukemic K562 cells with ... More
