À propos de cet article

Endothelial Cell Growth Medium and Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2 are low-serum (2% V/V) media optimized for the cultivation of endothelial cells from large blood vessels

The media are optimized for primary human cells but can also be used for bovine, porcine, murine, caprine, rabbit, elephant, dog, and rat endothelial cells from large vessels as well as for various endothelial cell lines.

Recommended for Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC), Human Umbilical Artery Endothelial Cells (HUAEC), Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells (HPAEC), Human Saphenous Vein Endothelial Cells (HSaVEC).

Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2 lacks Endothelial Cell Growth Supplement (ECGS, bovine hypothalamic extract) but contains Insulin-like Growth Factor (Long R3 IGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Generally, VEGF leads to higher endothelial cell proliferation in culture. But, because of its multiple effects on cell metabolism, it may also interfere with certain experimental setups. In these cases, we recommend the use of Endothelial Cell Growth Medium, which contains no VEGF.

Ordering information: PromoCell Endothelial Cell Growth Media / Media 2 are available as Medium (Ready-to-use) or as Medium Kit.
The Medium (Ready-to-use) consists of a 500 ml bottle of Basal Medium and one vial of SupplementMix. The Medium Kit consists of a 500 ml bottle of Basal Medium and the SupplementPack (a set of individual vials with pre-measured supplements) allowing the user full control over the media formulation.
Adding the SupplementMix or the SupplementPack to the Basal Medium results in the complete Growth Medium. Basal Medium (with or without phenol red) as well as SupplementMix and SupplementPacks can also be purchased separately.
