Advanced DMEM/F-12 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/Ham's F-12) is a widely used basal medium that allows the culture of mammalian cells with reduced Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) supplementation. Compared to classic DMEM/F-12, serum supplementation can be reduced by 50–90% with no change in growth rate or morphology. Cells successfully cultured in Advanced DMEM/F-12, with no adaptation, include MRC-5, SP2, Vero, WI-38 and Jurkat.

This Advanced DMEM/F-12 is manufactured as follows:

With: Glucose, Non Essential Amino Acids, Sodium pyruvate, Phenol Red

Without: L-glutamine, HEPES

The complete formulation is available.

Using Advanced DMEM/F-12

Advanced DMEM/F-12 is unique from other media due to addition of the following ingredients to allow for serum reduction: ethanolamine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, insulin, transferrin, AlbuMAX™ II lipid-rich bovine serum albumin for cell culture, and the trace elements sodium selenite, ammonium metavanadate, cupric sulfate, and manganous chloride. Advanced DMEM/F-12 requires supplementation with 1–5% Fetal Bovine Serum and 4 mM L-glutamine or GlutaMAX™ supplement. Many cell lines do not require adaptation to this media. The FBS concentration must be optimized for each cell line to obtain maximum serum reduction. Advanced Advanced DMEM/F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.7 g/L) and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

We recommend using neural expansion medium with the following composition to expand NSCs generated using the PSC Neural Induction Medium: - 50:50 Neurobasal medium: Advanced DMEM/F12 plus PSC Neural Induction Supplement.

PSC lines can behave differently, and we recommend performing your own validation experiments if you want to use PSC Neural Induction Medium, or you do not observe good expansion using the Neurobasal and Advanced DMEM/F12 combination.

We do not offer DMEM/F12 medium without folic acid as a standard catalog product. However, our Customs group can make it for you as a custom media. If you are interested, please complete this Custom order inquiry form PDF (https://www.thermofisher.com/content/dam/LifeTech/global/applied-sciences/pdfs/Bioproduction/Gibco-Custom-Media-Buffers-Request-Form.pdf) and email it to custommedia@thermofisher.com. Our Customs group will review your requirements and get back to you within a couple of days with pricing, ordering information, and lead time. After that, you have the choice of proceeding with an “official” order or declining.

Advanced Media are widely used basal media, which require 50-90% less Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) supplementation compared to conventional basal media formulations. The Advanced media is unique due to the addition of the following ingredients to allow for serum reduction: ethanolamine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, insulin, transferrin, AlbuMAX I lipid-rich bovine serum albumin for cell culture, and the trace elements sodium selenite, ammonium metavanadate, cupric sulfate, and manganous chloride.

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.
