CnT-ENDO Endothelial Proliferation Medium w/o Serum, Higher Certified

Class-leading proliferation of primary human endothelial cells over extended periods, all in a serum-free, clinically ready formulation.

Catalog CnT-ENDO-HC
Content 500 ml, Frozen medium

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Longevity of cells
  • Extended QC, documentation, support, and process control for clinical researchers
  • Serum-free formulation enables the end user to supplement with serum validated to deliver the desired cell behavior and known to meet the necessary regulatory requirements

Description

CnT-ENDO-HC medium is a highly refined medium for high efficiency isolation and expansion of primary human endothelial cells. The basal medium is also supplemented with a range of Progenitor Cell Targeted (PCT) growth factors to extend longevity and co-factors to improve growth factor binding to membrane-bound receptors. It does not contain phenol-red or antibiotics/antimycotics. CnT-ENDO-HC Medium is ideally suited for use during product development, protocol validation, and characterization of the cell-based product.

Primary human endothelial cells growing in CnT-ENDO-HC retain enhanced proliferation and extended growth. It uses an advanced basal medium supplemented with a range of growth factors and is FBS-free. We recommend use of 1 % serum for optimal performance.

Cells demonstrate the correct localization of VE-Cadherin, a critical regulator of endothelial cell behaviour.

Functionality of the HUVEC cells is also evident in the successful completion of a tube formation assay.
