Description
VascuLife® VEGF-Mv Microvascular Endothelial Cell Growth Medium Complete Kit (containing Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor; containing 5% FBS) is a medium optimized for the culture of Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells.
VascuLife® VEGF-Mv Microvascular Endothelial Cell Growth Medium grows Human Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells and other Human Microvascular Endothelial Cells at rates that meet or exceed other commercially available serum-containing media while maintaining excellent cell morphology.
In comparisons with other commercially available media, VascuLife® shows superior proliferation at different seeding densities.
VascuLife® Basal Medium contains no antimicrobials and no phenol red. Lifeline® offers these traditional supplements, but they are not required for eukaryotic cell proliferation. VascuLife® VEGF-Mv contains rh VEGF which may affect stimulation assays. Lifeline recommends using VascuLife® EnGS-Mv for these studies.
VascuLife® Cell Culture Medium Components
VascuLife® is offered in a kit format composed of basal medium and associated supplements and growth factors called “LifeFactors® (for details link)”. This kit allows you to prepare fresh medium in your laboratory, extending shelf life and enhancing performance. VascuLife® Basal Medium is provided in a light-protected 500 mL bottle. The remaining LifeFactors® (growth factors and supplements) are packaged in a convenient gas-impermeable pouch for easy storage.
