Gibco™ Opti-MEM I Reduced Serum Media is a modification of Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, buffered with HEPES and sodium bicarbonate, and supplemented with hypoxanthine, thymidine, sodium pyruvate, L-glutamine, trace elements, and growth factors. Most cells grown in serum-supplemented media can be transferred to Opti-MEM media with a minimum of 50% reduction in serum. Opti-MEM I Reduced Serum Media is ideal for use during cationic lipid transfections—especially Invitrogen Lipofectamine transfection reagents.
