General descriptionSmooth Muscle Cell Growth Medium 2 (Ready-to-use)
ApplicationSmooth Muscle Cell Growth Medium 2 is a low-serum (5% V/V) medium developed to establish and maintain smooth muscle cell cultures from blood vessels and hollow organs. The medium is optimized for primary human cells but can also be used for bovine, porcine, murine, dog, and rat smooth muscle cells.Recommended for:Human Umbilical Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HUASMC)Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HCASMC)Human Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HPASMC)Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (HAoSMC)Human Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells (HBSMC)Human Tracheal Smooth Muscle Cells (HTSMC)Human Uterine Smooth Muscle Cells (HUtSMC)

Do not freeze the complete medium. For use, pre-warm only an aliquot of the complete medium and keep the remaining medium refrigerated at 4 to 8°C.
Analysis NoteAll lots of PromoCell Smooth Muscle Cell Growth Medium are subjected to comprehensive quality control tests using primary human smooth muscle cells. Each lot is checked for growth promoting activity, adherence rate, and typical morphology of the tested smooth muscle cells. Approved in-house lots of media are used as a reference. In addition, all lots of media have been tested for the absence of microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, mycoplasma).
