Leibovitzs L-15 is a Classic Basic Medium from Innovative Research. The buffer system of Leibovitz's L-15 medium is composed of phosphate and free amino acids instead of the traditional sodium bicarbonate buffer system. The substitution of galactose and sodium pyruvate for glucose prevents the formation of acidic metabolic by-products, which helps to maintain the stable pH of the medium. This makes it suitable for cell culture in a non-CO2 balanced environment. L-15 medium is suitable for the culture of monkey kidney cells and HEP-2, the isolation of primary cells (such as embryonic and adult tissues), the culture of various viruses and the culture of neurons. The medium contains many kinds of amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts and other ingredients for cell culture, but does not contain protein, lipids or any growth factors, and should be used with serum or serum-free additives.
