Product description

Balanced DMEM and Ham's F-12 medium for versatile mammalian cell culture with stable glutamine.

Sigma-Aldrich DMEM/F12 (Catalogue No. 25698) is a versatile cell culture medium designed to support the growth and maintenance of a wide range of mammalian cells. Combining Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture in a 1:1 ratio, this formulation provides a comprehensive nutrient profile suitable for various cell culture applications.

Key features include:

  • Balanced Nutrient Composition: Offers a rich blend of amino acids, vitamins, and glucose, facilitating optimal cell growth.
  • Versatility: Supports the culture of diverse cell types, including MDCK cells, glial cells, fibroblasts, human endothelial cells, and rat fibroblasts.
  • Serum Supplementation Compatibility: Can be used with reduced or serum-free conditions, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal serum supplementation.
  • Stability: Formulated with stable glutamine to enhance shelf-life and reduce ammonia build-up during cell culture.

This medium is widely employed in various scientific fields, such as stem cell research, 3D organoid cultures, and biotechnology. It is particularly beneficial in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing workflows, where consistent and reliable cell culture conditions are paramount.

Commonly utilised in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biopharmaceutical companies, Sigma-Aldrich DMEM/F12 has been a staple in cell culture since its introduction and remains relevant in contemporary research settings.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
