Directions for the preparation of single strength synthetic liquid media (1X) from concentrated media
- Measure out sterile culture-grade water (Cat. # 03-055-1) to approximately 70% of desired total volume of medium. Pour water into an appropriate sterile mixing container that is close to the desired final volume. The water should be at room temperature.
- Add the amount of the concentrated medium.
- Add the desired amount of L-Glutamine Solution 200mM (Cat. # 03-020-1) if required (See table)*.
- Add the desired amount of Sodium Bicarbonate Solution (Cat. # 03-040-1). (See table).
- Add antibiotics solution if desired*.
- Add water to the final volume. During the dilution, mix gently to obtain a uniform solution. If necessary, adjust pH with sterile 1N NaOH or HCl.
- Store at 2ºC to 8ºC.
* To avoid shortening the shelf life, add these components just before use.
Important: The above procedures are carried out under strict sterile environment.
Example I, without sterile filatration (asceptic technique)
Preparation of Basal Medium Eagle, Earle’s Salts Base, one liter:
- 700 ml sterile water (Cat. # 03-055-1)
- 100 ml Basal Medium Eagle (Earle's) 10X w/o L-Glutamine, w/o Sodium Bicarbonate (Cat. # 01-015-5).
- 10 ml L-Glutamine Solution 200mM (Cat. # 03-020-1)
- 29.4 ml Sodium Bicarbonate Solution 7.5% (Cat. # 03-040-1).
- 10 ml Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution (Cat. # 03-031-1)
- Adjust pH if necessary with sterile 1N NaOH or 1N HCl. Sterile water to final volume.
- Example II, with sterile filtration (non-asceptic technique)
Example II, with sterile filtration (non-asceptic technique)
Preparation of RPMI 1640, 1 liter:
- 700 ml distilled water
- Add 100 ml RPMI concentrate 10X
- Adjust pH to 6.5-7.0 with 1N NaOH
- Add 10.3 ml L-Glutamine Solution 200mM
- Add 26.7 ml Sodium Bicarbonate Solution 7.5%
- Adjust pH with 1N NaOH or 1N HCl to pH 7.0-7.4
- Add distilled water to final volume. Adjust pH if necessary.
- Filter the medium into sterile container using a 0.2µm membrane filter.
