Description
VascuLife® VEGF (containing Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is a low serum medium optimized for the rapid proliferation of Human Endothelial Cells, including:
Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)
Aortic Endothelial Cells
Other human large-vessel endothelial cells
VascuLife® culture medium supports the growth of these cells in a low serum environment.
VascuLife® Basal Medium contains no antimicrobials and no phenol red.
VascuLife® VEGF Medium contains rh VEGF, which may affect stimulation assays. Lifeline® recommends using VascuLife® EnGS for these types of studies.
Kit Format: VascuLife® culture medium is offered in a kit format composed of basal medium and associated supplements and growth factors called ” LifeFactors® (for details click).” This kit allows you to prepare fresh medium in your laboratory, extending shelf life and enhancing performance.
Protective Packaging: 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.
ISO-Style Quality Testing for Guaranteed Consistency and Reproducible Results
VascuLife® VEGF medium grows HUVEC and other human large-vessel 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® VEGF shows superior proliferation at different seeding densities.
Every production lot of VascuLife® VEGF Endothelial Cell Culture Medium is extensively tested using Endothelial Cells.
