Powered by BiozEndothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2
Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2 is a low-serum (5% V/V) medium developed for the in vitro cultivation of endothelial cells from microvascular vessels, the coronary artery, and the aorta.
Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2 lacks the Endothelial Cell Growth Supplement (ECGS, bovine hypothalamic extract) but contains the basic Fibroblast Growth Factor, the Insulin-like Growth Factor (Long R3 IGF-1) and the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Generally, VEGF leads to higher endothelial cell proliferation in culture. But, because of its multiple effects on the cell metabolism, it may also interfere with certain experimental setups. In these cases, we recommend the use of Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV.
Although all our media are optimized for use with primary human cells, we have received feedback from customers that this particular medium can also be used for bovine, porcine, murine, rat and dog endothelial cells from microvascular vessels as well as for various endothelial cell lines.

Please note: Due to production reasons, we have changed the label on the basal medium bottle of our Ready-to-use growth media from “Growth Medium” to “Basal Medium.” This change only affects the label; the volume and formulation remain the same. Please note that the catalogue number on the basal medium bottle differs from that of the complete Ready-to-use growth medium.
