Normal Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Lifeline´s normal Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC), when grown in LifeLine´s VascuLife ™ Medium, provides an ideal cell system to propagate HUVEC in low-serum culture conditions with or without human VEGF. LifeLine´s HUVEC model allows for the accurate testing of compunds for the study of atherosclerosis or vascular biology.

Cat-No.: Product Description Size
FC-0003 HUVEC, Normal Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells 500,000 cells/amp
LL-0002 VascuLife EnGS Complete Medium Kit Kit
LL-0003 VascuLife VEGF Complete Medium Kit Kit

Cell Features:

Cryopreserved in first passage (P1). HUVEC isolated from human umbilical cord tissue are cultured for one passage before cryopreservation.

HUVEC can be grown in a 2% serum medium without phenol red or antimicrobials when cultured in VascuLife Medium.

Culture HUVEC with or without human VEGF.

Keratinocytes are extensively tested for quality and optimal performance

Lifeline guarantees performance and quality.

Safety Statement
This product is for research use only. This product is not approved for human or veterinary use, or for use in in vitro diagnostics or clinical procedures.

Lifeline´s HUVEC are cryopreserved in first passage to ensure the highest viability an plating efficiency. The HUVEC are quality tested in LifeLine´s VascuLife 2% serum to ensure optimal reduced-serum free growth at rates equal to or greater than standard serum supplemented medium. Lifeline´s HUVEC are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in VascuLife Medium, an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and "making effects" that may negatively impact experimental results. Lifeline offers these traditional supplements; however they are not recommended to achieve optimal cell performance in most research applications.
