The original purpose of Schneider’s Drosophila Medium was to culture S2 cells of Drosophila melanogaster under in vitro conditions. However, when supplemented with 5 to 20% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, this medium has been observed to facilitate rapid growth of primary and established cultures of cells not only from Drosophila but also from various other dipteran species.
