General description
This DMEM-Low glucose medium is a 1x complete medium with
sodium pyruvate added. It also differs from the original DMEM-Hi formulation
wherein pyridoxine is substituted for pyridoxal. Pyridoxal is an unstable
component of media.
Application
Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium-low glucose is a fully
supplemented liquid form of the original Dulbecco′s formulation, with one key
exception. Pyridoxal, which is an aldehyde, has been replaced with pyridoxine.
This modification has been shown to improve the stability of the medium.
Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium - low glucose has been used in the
maintenance/culturing of mammalian cells.[1][2][3][4]
