What is appropriate media for MCF-7 cell and MCF-10 ?

11 November 2014 1 2K Report

I have mcf-7 and mcf-10 and I grow them in DMEM 12 media. Is this a suitable method?

You can use DMEM medium with 10%FBS with 2mM glutamine with/without antibiotic.Maintain cells at 5%CO2 at 37 degree incubator. It works well in our lab.

all the best
