Grace’s insect medium is ideal for transfection when supplemented with 2-10% fetal bovine serum. It supports a variety of insect cells, including several lepidopterans and some dipterans. This medium lacks the lactalbumin hydrolysate and yeastolate added to TNM-FH medium. We manufacture all our insect media only with stabilized L-glutamine to ensure the longest possible shelf life.
