Product Intended Use

For in vitro diagnostic use. CAUTION: Not for human or animal therapeutic use. Uses other than the intended use may be a violation of local law.

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.
