Endothelial Cell Proliferation Medium
Product · Product number 850208
High-growth medium for the fast expansion of endothelial cells from large vessels
01Description
Endothelial Cell Proliferation Medium is designed for the fast expansion of human endothelial cells from large vessels, such as umbilical vein, umbilical artery, saphenous vein, aorta, coronary and pulmonary artery. The complete medium contains foetal calf serum, L-glutamine, heparin, EGF, bFGF, VEGF, Long R3 IGF-1, ascorbic acid and hydrocortisone. For a lower serum content, choose Advanced Endothelial Cell Growth Medium. We offer the medium as 500 ml basal medium, on its own or together with the supplements, either as individual components or as a premixed Supplement-Mix. The individual components allow single factors to be adjusted or left out, while the Supplement-Mix is added in a single step. The basal medium is also available phenol red-free in the same formats, which avoids interference with fluorescence and colorimetric readouts as well as the weak oestrogen-like activity of phenol red. Supplements are required for use, and both supplement formats are also available separately. Once supplemented, the complete medium contains 7 % FCS (35 ml per 500 ml of basal medium).
