FluxMPS™ Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/ Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture (DMEM/F-12) (1:1) with Trace Elements & 15mM HEPES w/o L-Glutamine, Phenol Red: 1X Liquid

FluxMPS™ Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/ Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture (DMEM/F-12) (1:1) with Trace Elements & 15mM HEPES w/o L-Glutamine, Phenol Red: 1X Liquid

FluxMPS™ Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/ Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture (DMEM/F-12) (1:1) with Trace Elements & 15mM HEPES w/o L-Glutamine, Phenol Red: 1X Liquid is a Microfluidics Suitable, Quadruple-stage ultra-filtered (0.1 µm ×2 + 0.04 µm ×2) 1X liquid cell culture medium engineered for organ-on-a-chip (OoC), tissue-on-a-chip (ToC), and microphysiological system (MPS) applications. A quadruple-stage train (0.1 µm ×2 + 0.04 µm ×2) reaches a 0.04 µm final cut-off, five times finer than the 0.22 µm membranes used for conventional sterile filtration.

• Quadruple-stage filtration train (0.1 µm ×2 + 0.04 µm ×2) reaching a 0.04 µm final polish, engineered for microfluidic and organ-on-a-chip (OoC) channel geometries
• DMEM/F-12 (1:1) base with trace elements and 15 mM HEPES; formulated without L-glutamine and without phenol red for user-controlled supplementation and imaging clarity
• Endotoxin release specification: < 0.05 EU/mL (LAL, USP <85> BET), controlled per manufacturing batch
• Sodium bicarbonate (1200 mg/L, 14.3 mM) combined with 15 mM HEPES for dual-buffer pH stability with reduced CO₂ dependence
• Manufactured under an ISO 13485:2016 quality management system with aseptic fill & finish at Diagnocine, Totowa, NJ
• Glucose 3151 mg/L and sodium pyruvate 110 mg/L included as standard energy substrates
• Custom formulations available on request — pH, glucose, salts, HEPES, and nutrient composition

Engineered where standard media fails

Conventional 0.22 µm-filtered media carry mycoplasma-sized particulates (0.2–0.3 µm), subvisible debris, and batch-to-batch endotoxin variation that accumulate inside microchannels — corrupting biosensor readings and shortening device lifetimes. FluxMPS™ is built to reduce these risks at the filtration stage.

Quadruple-stage filtration system

FluxMPS™ Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/ Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture (DMEM/F-12) (1:1) with Trace Elements & 15mM HEPES w/o L-Glutamine, Phenol Red: 1X Liquid is processed through a four-stage filtration sequence — two prefilter + final-filter pairs in series — reaching a 0.04 µm final cut-off, addressing mycoplasma-sized and subvisible particulates that single-pass 0.22 µm filtration cannot.

1. 1

   0.1 µm Prefiltration I

   Removes large particulates and aggregates; protects the first 0.04 µm cartridge.

2. 2

   0.04 µm Final filtration I

   First 0.04 µm pass; retains sub-micron particulates and microaggregates that pass a 0.22 µm filter.

3. 3

   0.1 µm Prefiltration II

   Second dedicated prefilter, protecting the second 0.04 µm cartridge.

4. 4

   0.04 µm Final filtration II — Polish

   Ultimate polishing filter; aseptic fill & finish in an ISO Class 5 laminar-flow workstation.

Designed for next-generation cell culture platforms

FluxMPS™ Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/ Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture (DMEM/F-12) (1:1) with Trace Elements & 15mM HEPES w/o L-Glutamine, Phenol Red: 1X Liquid is validated for organ-on-a-chip, metabolic research, live-cell imaging, and primary cell models where particulate contamination and endotoxin variation are unacceptable.

Automated Bioreactors & Robotics

An optional 0.01 µm (10 nm) MPS Grade variant — the six-stage ultra nano-filtered line (0.1µm ×2 → 0.04µm ×2 → 0.02µm → 0.01µm) — is available for automated bioreactor and robotic perfusion systems requiring the ultimate particulate exclusion.

• Total Particulate Exclusion: 10 nm filtration for nanoscale valve and sensor protection
• Valve & Sensor Protection: prevents particulate-induced blockage in precision fluidic systems
• Extended Perfusion Stability: maintains flow rate consistency across multi-week automated runs
