Use DMEM/F-12
DMEM/F-12 is a 1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12. The formula contains DMEM's high concentrations of glucose, amino acids, vitamins and various components of F-12. DMEM/F-12 contains no proteins, lipids or growth factors. Therefore, DMEM/F-12 may require nutritional supplementation, typically 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). DMEM/F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system and therefore requires an environment of 5–10% CO₂ to maintain physiological pH.
