MEM medium (Minimum Essential Medium) was developed on the basis of Eagle basic medium. It is one of the most basic and widely used culture medium, and one of the most commonly used culture medium in animal cell culture. MEM medium contains 12 kinds of essential amino acids, glutamine and 8 vitamins, which is simple, mainly used in the culture of adherent cells. MEM, with NEAA medium is added L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-proline, L-serine and glycine on the basis of MEM medium. These 7 kinds of NEAA, can reduce the side effects of producing non-essential amino acids during cell culture and promote cell proliferation and metabolism. This product contains many kinds of amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts and other ingredients for cell culture, but does not contain protein, lipids or any growth factors. Therefore, the product should be used with serum or serum-free additives.

Insulin (INS) is a double-stranded (α, β) polypeptide hormone secreted by islet beta cells. It is the only known hormone in the body that reduces blood sugar and simultaneously promotes glycogen, fat, and protein synthesis. Transferrin is an indispensable component in body fluids. It is not only involved in iron transport and metabolism, respiration, cell proliferation and immune system regulation, but also can regulate iron ion balance and energy balance. And it has antibacterial and bactericidal function. Sodium Selenite is a cofactor that provides glutathione peroxidase and other proteins and is used as an antioxidant in culture. Originally used in combination with RPMI 1640 and Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), ITS-G solutions are now commonly used in combination with other basal medium to support multiple cell types in the presence of 2-4?S. ITS is formulated with Earle balanced salt solution (EBSS). Pricella offers three different ITS: ITS-G for general use; ITS-A for adherent cell culture; and ITS-X for cell types requiring aminoethanol, such as bronchial epithelial cells.

Balanced Salt Solution (Physiological Solution) have the properties of buffer solution (regulate pH), normal saline (maintain osmotic pressure) and culture medium (provide nutrition). It can meet the basic needs of survival and metabolism of tissues, organs or cells in vitro. A small amount of phenolic red was added to some equilibrium salt solutions to indicate the pH change of the solution. Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) is one of the commonly used phosphate buffers in cell separation or culture. The main components are NaCl, KCl, KH2PO4, Na2HPO4, NaHCO3, CaCl2, MgCl2, MgSO4 and glucose. HBSS is often used to rinse tissue or cells, to transport cells or tissues, to prepare other reagents, to dilute the cells when counting the cells.

Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) is one of the most widely used equilibrium salt solutions in biochemistry. The main components are NaCl, KCl, KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. DPBS can be divided into two types according to whether contain calcium and magnesium. Different from conventional PBS, DPBS phosphate content was slightly lower. DPBS was mainly used for embryological research.

DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) was developed on the basis of MEM medium. Compared with MEM medium, the content of amino acid increased by 2 times, the content of vitamin increased by 4 times, and the content of non-essential amino acid, trace iron ion and sodium pyruvate were increased by 4 times. The glucose content of DMEM medium was originally designed as 1000 mg/L (low Glucose type), and then developed into 4500 mg/L (high Glucose type), which has been widely used in cell culture. DMEM (High glucose) was widely used in fast growth, low adhesion cells, hybridoma myeloma cells, clone cells, DNA transfected transformation cells, various primary virus host cells, single cell culture and vaccine production. DMEM (High glucose) contains many kinds of amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts and other ingredients for cell culture, but does not contain protein, lipids or any growth factors, so the product should be used with serum or serum-free additives.

Penicillin-streptomycin solution mixture is the most commonly used antibiotic to prevent microbial contamination in vitro. Penicillin can interfere with the synthesis of bacterial cell wall, especially for Gram-positive bacteria. Streptomycin could bind to ribosomal ribosome for 30S and inhibit the synthesis of bacterial protein. It was effective for Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria, but especially for Gram-negative bacteria. Amphotericin B can bind with ergosterol on the membrane of fungi, leading to damage of the membrane, improvement of permeability, leakage of substances inside the cell, disruption of normal metabolism and bacteriostatic effect, but no effect on bacteria. The combined use of penicillin, streptomycin amphotericin B can prevent most bacterial and fungus contamination. But penicillin solution is sensitive to temperature and pH, easy to degrade at room temperature, and needs cryopreservation, the stability of penicillin solution is the most stable when pH is 6.0-6.5. Streptomycin was relatively stable, and pH 5.0-7.5 was the most stable. Amphotericin B solution is unstable at room temperature, easily destroyed by light, heat and acid, and has the strongest antibacterial effect at pH 6.0-7.5.
