DMEM/F-12 (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12) is a widely used basal medium for supporting the growth of many different mammalian cells. Cells successfully cultured in DMEM/F-12 include MDCK, glial cells, fibroblasts, human endothelial cells, and rat fibroblasts. We offer a variety of DMEM/F-12 modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.

The complete formulation is available.

Using DMEM/F-12
DMEM/F-12 is a 1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12. This formulation combines DMEM's high concentrations of glucose, amino acids, and vitamins with F-12's wide variety of components. DMEM/F-12 with GlutaMAX supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format. DMEM/F-12 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, DMEM/F-12 may require supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). DMEM/F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system 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.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Do you offer DMEM/F12 medium without folic acid?

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.

Will depletion, absence, or breakdown of essential growth-promoting components such as glutamine or growth factors reduce the growth rate of my culture?

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.

Will the media formulations containing GlutaMAX supplement change with respect to L-glutamine content?

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