Pooled Primary HUVECs
Large lot sizes, cost effective. New from ATCC, normal primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (PCS-100-013) are derived from 10 unique donors. A pooled population minimizes the lot-to-lot variation associated with single donor primary HUVECs (PCS-100-010) and yields large lot sizes. Large lots assure consistency for large scale studies and cost-effective pricing makes these studies using primary cells newly affordable. Use with Vascular Cell Basal Medium and one of two Endothelial Growth Kits to maximize growth, enhance functionality and maintain normal morphology.
