Product Use
For Research Use Only: Not intended for animal or human diagnostic or therapeutic use.

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.
