Using IMDMIMDM, 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% CO
2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
