Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) is well suited for rapidly proliferating, high-density cell cultures, including Jurkat, COS-7, and macrophage cells.We offer a variety of Gibco™ IMDM modifications for a range of cell culture applications.Find the right formulation using the media selector tool.
The complete formulation is available.
IMDM, a modification of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, includes selenium as well as additional amino acids and vitamins.In addition, this unique medium lacks iron, with potassium nitrate replacing ferric nitrate.Gibco™ IMDM with GlutaMAX™ supplement minimizes toxic ammonia build-up and improves cell viability and growth in an easy-to-use format.
cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
Gibco™ IMDM is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility, located in Paisley, Scotland, UK.The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standard.For supply chain continuity, we offer an identical Gibco™ IMDM product made in our Grand Island facility (31980-097).This facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standards.
IMDM contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors.Therefore, IMDM requires supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS).IMDM uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (3.024 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO 2environment to maintain physiological pH.
This IMDM is modified as follows:
With | Without |
• GlutaMAX™ | • α-thioglycerol |
• Phenol Red | • 2-mercaptoethanol |
