Description
General description
EndoGRO Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) are a commonly studied human cell type extracted from human neonatal umbilical cords. They are relatively easy to culture, and provide a valuable cell model for many vascular biology research applications, including inflammation, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, blood clotting, vasoconstriction, and vasodilation. EndoGRO® HUVEC are provided at passage 1, and have been quality tested in low-serum media without exposure to phenol red.

Preparation Note
EndoGRO HUVEC are sold as cryopreserved ampoules. To maintain the cells’ integrity, unpack the products immediately upon receipt. The cryopreserved cells should be placed in the liquid or gas phase of a liquid nitrogen dewar for storage.
Long-term storage of the ampoule must be in a liquid nitrogen dewar or a mechanical freezer designed for cryopreserved cell storage that maintains a temperature below -135°C.
Millipore recommends storing the cryopreserved vials in liquid nitrogen vapor phase. Handle cryopreserved vials with caution. Always wear eye protection and gloves when working with cell cultures. Aseptically vent any nitrogen from cryopreserved vials in a biosafety cabinet prior to thawing the vials in a water bath.
Analysis Note
Tested negative for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV-1. Free of bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma contamination.
Further growth: Guaranteed to provide 15 or more doublings when grown in the appropriate EndoGRO Medium.
