Schneider's Insect Medium w/ Calcium chloride, L-Glutamine and Sodium bicarbonate

Schneider's insect medium has been specially formulated for the in vitro culture of Drosophila melanogaster cells and tissues. IML003A contains calcium chloride, L-glutamine and sodium bicarbonate. The basal medium also needs to be supplemented with 5-20% of heat inactivated fetal bovine serum to supply the necessary growth factors to the insect cells. It can also be used to culture cell lines derived from other dipteran species.
