Product Description

Lifeline^® Normal Human Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells (HBSMC), when grown in Lifeline^® VascuLife^® SMC Medium, provide an ideal low serum (5%) culture model for the study of angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, diabetes or vascular/pulmonary biology.

Primary Bladder Cells for the Best Research Outcomes

Lifeline^® Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells are cryopreserved as primary cells to ensure the highest viability, purity and plating efficiency.

• Primary Bladder Cells have been directly cultured from their source organ tissue, come from a variety of donors, and haven’t been modified in any way. The cells are isolated from tissue, plated onto culture vessels, expanded, harvested and cryopreserved. 

Our Human Smooth Muscle Cells are quality tested in VascuLife^® SMC Medium and demonstrate optimal low serum growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than other serum-supplemented media.

Lifeline^® bladder smooth muscle cells are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in VascuLife^® SMC Medium, an advantage since these supplements can negatively impact experimental results. Lifeline^® offers these traditional supplements; however, they are not needed, or recommended, to achieve optimal cell performance in most research applications.

• Bladder smooth muscle cells can be grown without phenol red or antimicrobials when cultured in VascuLife® SMC Medium.
