for the culture of mice embryonic cells. Today, it finds a broad application of serum free

Ham’s Nutrient Mixtures were originally developed to support growth of several clones of
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, of HeLa and of mouse L-cells. Ham’s mixtures were
formulated for use with or without serum supplementation, depending on the cell type
being cultured. Ham’s F-12 was developed for growth of primary rat hepatocytes and rat
prostate epithelial cells. It is also used in a clonal toxicity assay using CHO cells. The
medium is for research use only and not approved for human or animal use or for

please rinse the bottle and the tube with 70% ethanol as protection. Remove ethanol
excess before opening the cap of the tube. After adding the supplement mixture to the
basal medium slew carefully to get a homogenous medium. Please be careful not to touch
the tube or bottle interior threads with your fingers. Please avoid long term exposure to
light because some components are light sensitive. Also do not warm up the medium over
37°C. All this protects your medium against contamination or degradation of essential
components.
