Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells

Product Description

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

Lifeline Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells are Primary Cells that have been isolated from human coronary arteries, plated and expanded in culture vessels twice before being harvested for cryopreservation to ensure the highest purity, viability and plating efficiency.

•  Primary Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells have not been modified in any way, to help avoid altering the outcome of your experiments.
• Primary Smooth Muscle Cells can come from many donors, making your research outcomes more representative of the general population.

Coronary artery smooth muscle cells, 100X

Our Primary 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.

Primary Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in VascuLife SMC Medium, an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may 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.

• Primary Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells can be grown without phenol red or antimicrobials when cultured in VascuLife® SMC Medium.
