Culture Media

LIGHT LABS carries a comprehensive selection of cell culture media, sera, and supplements for mammalian cell culture applications from Mediatech, a  brand trusted by research labs and bioproduction facilities worldwide. Our basal media lineup includes Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (RPMI 1640), Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM), and Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) in standard and low-glucose formulations, with and without L-glutamine, phenol red, and sodium bicarbonate. Media are available in liquid format in 500mL bottles and as powder formulations for large-scale preparation. All Mediatech cell culture media are manufactured under strict quality control standards and are tested for sterility, pH, osmolality, and endotoxin levels to ensure consistent, reproducible cell growth. Specialty media formulations for hybridoma culture, serum-free applications, and antibiotic-supplemented variants are also available — contact our sales team for specific formulations not listed in our online catalog. Purchase orders accepted from approved institutional accounts.

Which cell culture medium do you need?

  • DMEM: the default basal medium for most adherent mammalian lines, in high- and low-glucose versions with or without sodium pyruvate and HEPES.
  • DMEM/Ham's F-12: a richer 50/50 blend for serum-reduced and primary culture.
  • RPMI 1640: the standard for lymphocytes, hybridomas and many suspension lines.
  • IMDM and MEM: for high-density hematopoietic culture and classic monolayer work.
  • Fetal bovine serum: premium and regular grades, US and New Zealand origin, heat-inactivated or not.

Pair your media with sterile filtration units, cell culture flasks and multiwell plates.
