General description

Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV 2 SupplementPack (basal medium sold separately)

To form a complete medium, it should be combined with the basal medium: C-22221

Application

Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2 was developed for the in vitro cultivation of endothelial cells from microvascular vessels, the coronary artery, and the aorta. The media are optimized for primary human cells but can also be used for bovine, porcine, murine, rat and dog endothelial cells from microvascular vessels as well as for various endothelial cell lines.Recommended for:Human Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HDMEC)Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells (HCAEC)Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAoEC)Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMEC)Human Dermal Lymphatic Endothelial Cells (HDLEC)Human Dermal Blood Endothelial Cells (HDBEC)Human Cardiac Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HCMEC)Human Uterine Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HUtMEC)Note: For best transfection results we recommend using PromoCell heparin-free Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2. Heparin, included all our other our Endothelial Cell Growth Media formulations, may reduce transfection efficiency.

Quality

All lots of PromoCell Endothelial Cell Media MV/MV2 are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human endothelial cells. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested endothelial cells. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).
