With advances in cell culture techniques, scientists are always on a quest to find newer and more innovative formulations of media that tend to emphasize more on cell growth, viability, and output of experiments. More importantly, due to inconsistency of Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), there is a developing demand toward those media which need less or no FBS. Advanced DMEM F12 is among the versatile and robust choices for this purpose in cell biology applications. Below, we shall discuss the future trend in the media of cell culture and how the DMEM F12 formulation fits into that. Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium/F-12 (DMEM F-12) 1. Reduced serum use focus The most pronounced trend has been toward serum-free or low-serum media formulations. Researchers more and more remark that both the heterogeneity and the ethical concerns over Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) give scientific justification for serum-free formulations as necessary for Advanced DMEM F12 , but again, ideally, the medium should
