Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2

Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2 is a low-serum (2% V/V) medium that lacks Endothelial Cell Growth Supplement (ECGS, bovine hypothalamic extract) but contains Insulin-like Growth Factor (Long R3 IGF, recombinant human) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Generally, VEGF leads to higher endothelial cell proliferation in culture. But, because of its multiple effects on cell metabolism, it may also interfere with certain experimental setups. In these cases, we recommend the use of Endothelial Cell Growth Medium, which contains no VEGF.

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, caprine, rabbit, elephant, dog, and rat endothelial cells from large vessels as well as for various endothelial cell lines.

Components:

• Growth Medium (Ready-to-use): Includes Basal Medium and SupplementMix
• Growth Medium Kit: Includes Basal Medium and SupplementPack
• SupplementMix: Contains all media supplements premixed in one vial
• SupplementPack: Contains all media supplements as individual vials

Note: For best transfection results we recommend using our heparin-free Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV2. Heparin, included in all our other Endothelial Cell Growth Media formulations, may reduce transfection efficiency.
