RPMI 1640 was developed by Moore et al. in 1967 at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) in Farrow, New York, USA. RPMI is a type of cell culture medium developed by the institute, and 1640 is the code name of the culture medium. RPMI 1640 is an improved McCoy's 5A medium that uses a bicarbonate buffer system. Unlike most mammalian cell culture media, its typical pH 8 formula is different. RPMI 1640 medium was originally designed for lymphocyte culture. It is now widely used in the culture of various normal cells and cancer cells, especially suspension cells. It is one of the most widely used culture media.
