𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Minimal composition makes it easy to add specific nutrients, growth factors, or other components tailored to particular cell types or studies.
𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬: Suitable for both adherent and suspension cells, including fibroblasts, epithelial cells, HeLa, and CHO lines, supporting reliable growth and reproducibility.

Compared to DMEM medium, which supports a broad range of adherent cells, the Roswell Park Memorial Institute (𝐑𝐏𝐌𝐈-𝟏𝟔𝟒𝟎) 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 is specifically optimized for the growth of suspension cells and immune system-derived cell lines.

MAIN FEATURES:
𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 to support faster metabolism and proliferation.
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐠𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞 – a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and maintains redox balance.
𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Widely used for culturing fast-dividing suspension cells such as lymphocytes (particularly T cells and B cells), as well as hybridoma cells for monoclonal antibody production.

Celebrated every year on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎, this day was established by UNESCO in 2001 to highlight the crucial role of science in building a better world. It draws attention to how science contributes to peace, poverty reduction, sustainable development, and global cooperation.

The day reminds us that scientific progress is not only about discoveries in laboratories — it is also about ensuring that knowledge is shared, applied responsibly, and used to address humanity’s greatest challenges. From climate change to public health, World Science Day is a call for dialogue between scientists, policymakers, and citizens, making science more accessible and trusted by society.

𝐈𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐮𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐨’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 (𝐈𝐌𝐃𝐌) is a modified version of DMEM that is particularly well-suited for cultivating cells at high densities. This formulation has been optimized to support the growth of a variety of cell types.

MAIN FEATURES:
𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: IMDM contains more amino acids and vitamins than DMEM.

𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: In addition to the basic ingredients, it also includes sodium pyruvate, HEPES buffer, and sodium selenite.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Suitable for cultivating specific cell types and particularly well adapted for high-density cell cultures, including Jurkat, hybrid cells, macrophages and lymphocytes.

𝐃𝐮𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐨’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 (𝐃𝐌𝐄𝐌) is the most widely used cell culture medium that supports the growth of a diverse range of cell types.

MAIN FEATURES:
𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Classic DMEM formulations provide over 15 amino acids, 8 vitamins, 7 salts, and other essential nutrients.

𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: LT Biotech offers more than a dozen different DMEM formulations to meet specific cellular needs, differing in components such as glucose, sodium pyruvate, and L-glutamine.

𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: DMEM supports a broad spectrum of cells, including fibroblasts, neurons, stem cells, HeLa cell lines.

𝟔.𝟎𝟐 × 𝟏𝟎²³ is the number of atoms, molecules, or ions in one mole of a substance. This number is known as the 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭, named after the Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro, who proposed that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.

On 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟑, chemists and biochemists celebrate 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 to highlight the importance of Avogadro’s discovery in the calculation and definition of the mole — the standard unit for measuring the amount of a substance.

All of our FBS types are 0.1 µm triple-filtered, cell-line approved, and tested for endotoxins, bacteria, and viruses, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards for research and production. Yet, different applications require different serum characteristics — that’s why three options exist.

🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐁𝐒 – The standard choice for the majority of cell lines. Its natural composition provides a rich mix of growth factors and nutrients, making it highly versatile for general culture work, from academic research to routine cell maintenance.

🔹 𝐅𝐁𝐒 𝐗𝐭𝐫𝐚 – Developed for tumor and other fast-proliferating cells. By combining reduced serum with chemically defined additives, it minimizes batch-to-batch variability. This makes it essential when consistency and reproducibility are crucial, such as in drug screening or large-scale studies.

🔹 𝐅𝐁𝐒 𝐏𝐑𝐎 – Tailored for tumor and stable cell lines where long-term growth reliability is key. It enriches natural FBS with added albumin and reduces antibody content, removing the need for batch testing. This makes it ideal for biomanufacturing and advanced research settings.

Explore our media, buffer solutions, and cell culture additives — high-quality, reliable products to support all your cell culture needs. Designed for consistency and optimal performance in research and diagnostics.

Today, at the start of European Biotech Week 2025 (September 29 - October 6), we celebrate 𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 (biotechweek.org).

The opening of the first enzyme factory in Vilnius in 1971 led to the establishment of the Institute of Applied Enzymology in 1975 - a milestone that marked the true beginning of Lithuania’s biotechnology industry.

Since then, Lithuania has made remarkable progress, becoming a true life sciences hub. Today, more than 400 companies are active in the biotechnology sector, making it one of the country’s fastest-growing and most productive economic fields (source: lithuania.lt).

It’s no surprise that Lithuania is increasingly chosen as a host for international scientific events: this year, the prestigious EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organisation) Young Scientist Forum took place in Vilnius on September 24-26, highlighting Lithuania’s growing role in European science.
