What's the difference between PromoCell HUVEC single donor (C-12200) and HUVEC-pooled (C-12203)?

Our HUVEC single donor (C-12200) are isolated from a single umbilical cord, propagated in primary culture, and frozen down at subconfluency. For the preparation of HUVEC-pooled (C12203), we simultaneously isolate the cells from 2-4 umbilical cords and grow them in separate tissue culture dishes. The cells are pooled after trypsinization given that their growth rates are comparable. After thawing, our HUVECs (single donor and pooled) are both in P1. The recommended media are Endothelial Cell Growth Medium (C-22010) or Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2 (C-22011). With respect to cell growth, HUVEC-pooled tend to have a more heterogeneous morphology with slightly more elongated cells but the doubling times are comparabel for both types (typically 18-36 hrs per doubling).
