cGMP Manufacturing and Quality System
Gibco® DMEM/F-12 is manufactured at a cGMP compliant facility, located in Grand Island, New York. The facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 standards. For supply chain continuity, Life Technologies offers an identical Gibco® DMEM/F-12 product made in our Scotland facility (11320-074). This facility is registered with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and is certified to the ISO 13485 standard.
DMEM/F-12 contains no proteins, lipids, or growth factors. Therefore, DMEM/F-12 may require supplementation, commonly with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). DMEM/F-12 uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.438 g/L) and therefore requires a 5-10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.
