MEM has been used with serum supplementation on a broad range of cell types including suspension and adherent mammalian cells, HeLa, BHK-21, HEK-293, HEp-2, HT-1080, MCF-7,fibroblasts and primary rat astrocytes.

Numerous other modifications of MEM have also been developed. MEM contains non-essential amino acids, sodium pyruvate, lipoic acid, vitamin B12, biotin and ascorbic acid. MEM has been used for many cell types grown as monolayers.

MEM is available without nucleosides for use as a selection medium for DG44 and other DHFR negative cells. Suspension modifications replace calcium with magnesium ions to inhibit cell attachment.
