General description

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium (DME) is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) that has been formulated with a 4-fold higher concentration of amino acids and vitamins. It includes additional supplementary components. The DME formula, first reported for culturing embryonic mouse cells, contained 1,000 mg/L of glucose. Modifying the medium with 4,500 mg/L glucose is optimal for culturing certain cell types.
The most basic formulation offered. This formulation is used by investigators who want to start with the essential components of DME, and have the flexibility to optimize the formula for their own application.

Application

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium has been used:
  • to culture the isolated flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) fibers to measure exogenous fatty acid (FA) utilization as part of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) measurements
  • to culture the isolated tibialis anterior (TA) muscle fibers for lactate measurements
  • to culture the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for osteogenic differentiation to prepare a low-glucose medium to culture human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells

Quantity

Formulated to contain 8.3 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 1.0 g/L glucose, 0.584 g/L L-glutamine, 3.7 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
