Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) is well suited for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell cultures, including Jurkat, COS-7, and macrophage cells. Life Technologies offers a variety of Gibco® IMDM modifications for a range of cell culture applications. Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.
IMDM, a modification of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium, includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins. In addition, this unique medium lacks iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate. Gibco® IMDM with GlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes 查看更多toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format.
Product Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use. CAUTION: Not for human or animal therapeutic use. Uses other than the intended use may be a violation of local law.
cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
Gibco® IMDM is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility, located in Grand Island, New York. The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 standards. For supply chain continuity, Life Technologies offers an identical Gibco® IMDM product made in our Scotland facility (31980-022). This facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standard.
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.
