Alpha MEM is a different formulation of MEM Eagle and contains a higher concentration of amino acids. It also has a higher concentration of lipoic acid, vitamins and pyruvate. Primarily it was developed for the cultivation of hamster kidney cells, but today it is used for a broad range of mammalian cells. Among others the alpha MEM promotes the growth and progeny of bone marrow cells in suspension culture and monolayer. A further possibility is the use as a separation medium or for the out-breeding of amniotic cells.
