Advanced DMEM/F12 is a widely used basal medium that allows the culture of mammalian cells with reduced Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) supplementation. Compared to classic DMEM/F12, serum supplementation can be reduced by 50–90% with no change in cellular prolife ratio or morphology. Many cell lines do not need to be domesticated to use this medium. Cells successfully cultured in Advanced DMEM/F12, with no adaptation, include Vero, LX-2, KGN, C8-D1A, Hela, 4T1, NIH-3T3, KLE, ARPE-19, JHH-7, NCI-H2009, etc.
Advanced DMEM/F12 medium can achieve the serum-reduced effect due to the addition of the following ingredients: ethanolamine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, insulin, transferrin, bovine serum albumin and various trace elements (sodium selenite, ammonium metavanadate, copper sulfate and manganese chloride).
