Cell Culture Medium
Product List
The Leibovitz L-15 media were formulated to promote the cell growth in medium not
balanced in CO2. The formulations were developed with the sodium bicarbonate buffer.
The Leibovitz L-15 media are buffered by a complement of salts, free base amino acids and
galactose so they can be used under conditions of free gaseous exchange with the
atmosphere. When properly supplemented, L-15 Medium supports established cell lines,
such as HEp-2 and LLC-MK 2, as well as primary explants of embryonic and adult human
tissue. Many viruses also have been successfully cultivated in this medium.

Mc Coy's media were originally formulated for growth and support of lymphocytes. This
final modification produced a medium identical to RPMI 1629. Mc Coy's 5A media support
the indefinite proliferation of Walker 256 carcinoma cells. In addition, it is excellent for the
propagation of leukocytes, biopsy tissues, a broad range of human and rat normal or
transformed cell types, the most current primary and continuous cell lines.
