Lifeline’s normal Human Aortic Endothelial Cells, when grown in Lifeline’s VascuLife® Medium, provides an ideal low-serum culture model, with or without human VEGF, for the accurate testing of compounds for the study of atherosclerosis or vascular biology.

Lifeline’s HAoEC are cryopreserved in second passage to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency.

Our HAoECs are quality tested in VascuLife 2% serum medium to ensure optimal reduced-serum growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than other serum-supplemented medium. Lifeline’s HAoEC are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in VascuLife medium; an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may negatively impact experimental results.
