Gibco™ Advanced DMEM/F-12 is an optimized basal medium formulated to support mammalian cell culture with significantly reduced serum supplementation. Compared to conventional DMEM/F-12, this advanced formulation enables a 50–90% reduction in Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) without compromising cell growth rate or morphology.
Designed for cost efficiency and improved experimental consistency, Advanced DMEM/F-12 integrates additional growth-supporting components that enhance cell viability under reduced-serum conditions, making it ideal for sensitive cell lines and serum-reduction studies.
