Ham’s F10 medium was originally developed for the clonal growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, lung cells, and mouse L-cells. Ham’s F10 is the medium of choice for supporting the growth of human diploid cells, white blood cells for chromosomal analysis, and primary explants of rat, rabbit, and chicken tissues.
Since Ham’s F10 medium does not contain proteins or growth factors, serum supplementation is recommended depending on the cell type and application.
This formulation does not contain sodium bicarbonate.
