Fetal Bovine Serum supplementation by at least 50% with no change in cell growth rate or morphology. Opti-MEM® I medium is also recommended for use with cationic lipid transfection reagents, such as Lipofectamine™ reagent. Opti-MEM® I medium can be used with a variety of suspension and adherent mammalian cells, including Sp2, AE-1, CHO, BHK-21, HEK, and primary fibroblasts. We offer a variety of Opti-MEM® I Reduced-Serum Medium

Using Opti-MEM® Reduced-Serum Medium Opti-MEM® I medium is a unique medium that contains insulin, transferrin, hypoxanthine, thymidine, and trace elements. These additional components allow for a reduction in serum supplementation by at least 50%. Opti-MEM® I medium uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.4 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO
2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
