L-Glutamin ist eine essentielle Aminosäure, die von praktisch allen in Kultur gezüchteten Säugetier- und Insektenzellen benötigt wird. Es ist ein entscheidender Bestandteil vieler Zellkulturmedien und dient als wichtige Energiequelle für Zellen in Kultur. L-Glutamin ist als Trockenpulver und als gefrorene Lösung sehr stabil. In flüssigen Medien oder Stammlösungen kann L-Glutamin jedoch relativ schnell abgebaut werden. L-Glutamin ist labiler in Zellkulturlösungen als andere Aminosäuren.

The long term cultivation of cells requires the addition of serum. When properly supplemented, Medium 199 has broad species applicability, particularly for cultivation of non-transformed cells. It is widely used in virology, vaccine production and in vitro cultivation of primary explants of mouse pancreatic epithelial and rat lens tissues.

Studies to determine the nutritional requirements of many cells have been in progress since Eagle's first reports. The major essential nutrients were identified, and work became focussed on the media requirements of individual cell types. Many media designed for these purposes are now available. Among the first of these media, developed initially to study hormonal requirements of cells in culture, was a mixture of DMEM and Ham's F12 medium, known as DMEM-Ham's F12.

RPMI are general purpose enriched media with extensive applications for a broad spectrum of mammalian and hybridoma cells, including human myeloma, mouse hybridoma, human leukocytes, and B and T lymphocytes. It was originally formulated for suspension cultures and monolayer culture of human leukaemia cells.

Antibiotic G418 is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in structure to gentamycin. It exhibits toxicity towards both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The optimal concentration for selection and maintenance must be determined for each cell line.

These irrigating buffers and salt solutions are sterile, physiological balanced solutions intended for use in the maintenance of mammalian cells, where a chemically defined, balanced salt solution provides an environment that will maintain the structural and physiological integrity of cells in vitro. Applications include the intermediate steps for cultivation of cells, like washing, centrifugation, suspending and counting, as well as for many analytical methods or biochemical treatments. Principally these solutions should be used to keep the cells in suspension only for minutes or a few hours maximum. These buffers and solutions are not cell culture media.

In 1976, Guilbert and Iscove demonstrated that precursor cells of erythrocytes and macrophages could be cultured in a reduced-serum medium supplemented with albumin, transferrin, lecithin, and selenium. Iscove's medium is a modification of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DME) containing selenium, additional amino acids and vitamins, sodium pyruvate, HEPES buffer, and potassium nitrate instead of ferric nitrate. Further studies have demonstrated that Iscove's medium will support murine B lymphocytes, haemopoietic tissue from bone marrow, B-cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, T-lymphocytes, and a variety of hybrid cells.

Concentrated solutions of amino acids, vitamins or non essential amino acids can be added to a basal medium to enrich it and the resulting medium used as a classical MEM or BME. The final concentration of the MEM or BME must be 1X.

Ham's F10 medium is intended to support the growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells under serum-free conditions and other mammalian cell types with serum supplementation. It is a popular medium for growth of fastidious cell lines.

The Leibovitz L-15 media were formulated to promote the cell growth in medium not balanced in CO₂. The formulations were developed with the sodium bicarbonate buffer. The Leibovitz L-15 media are buffered by a complement of salts, free base amino acids and galactose so they can be used under conditions of free gaseous exchange with the atmosphere. When properly supplemented, L-15 Medium supports established cell lines, such as HEp-2 and LLC-MK2, as well as primary explants of embryonic and adult human tissue. Many viruses also have been successfully cultivated in this medium.

Glasgow MEM (GMEM) was originally formulated for growing BHK 21 cells. The original formulation is an Eagle's Basal Medium modified to contain two times the normal concentration of amino acids and vitamins. It is intended for use with adherent cell lines.

Plasma provides a broad spectrum of macromolecules, carrier proteins for lipoid substances and trace elements, attachment and spreading factors, low molecular weight nutrients, and hormones and growth factors that promote cell growth. It is used as a component of bioassays, immunoassays or enzyme assays.
