A number of modifications of Grace's medium were developed in several laboratories in the late 1960's and 1970's. Many of these modifications were developed by Dr. W.F. Hink for the growth of cells derived from the cabbage looper, Tricoplusia ni. This formula represents the modification known as TNM-FH. When properly supplemented, TNM-FH Insect Medium supports a number of cell lines from a variety of lepidopteran species. It is ideally suited for growth, infection, and protein expression of insect cell lines. This medium may be used for suspension or monolayer cultures. This medium is generally supplemented with serum.

Directions per Liter
Dissolve 47.8g in 800-900ml of ddH2O stirring gently until completely solubilized. If required, add sodium bicarbonate. Adjust pH of the medium to the desired level. Add additional water to bring the solution to1L Filter-sterilize using a 0.22 micron membrane filter. Aliquot into sterile containers. Do not autoclave. Contains heat-labile compounds that can be damaged with autoclaving.
Storage and Stability
Store powdered media at RT. Stable for 12 months after receipt. Opened bottles should be capped tightly and kept in a dark, low humidity environment. Prepared media should be kept at 4°C and used within a short period of time.
