What is the difference between the EGM and EGM-2 growth media? What is the difference between the EGM-MV and EGM-2MV growth media?

The EBM™ and EBM™-2 basal media are essentially identical. The difference between the EGM™ and EGM™-2 growth media (or the EGM™-MV and EGM™-2MV growth media) are in the supplements.EGM™ and EGM™-MV growth media will contain the undefined reagent...

Approximately what size are the Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (CASMCs)?

Lonza’s R&D estimates that the CASMC’s are around 30 µm in diameter when rounded/in suspension.

What is the difference between the EGM and EGM-MV Growth Media? What is the difference between the EGM-2 and EGM-2MV Growth Media?

Lonza endothelial cell media ending with –MV (such as the EGM™-MV and EGM™-2MV Growth Media) are typically designated for use with microvascular endothelial cells (with some exceptions).Lonza endothelial cell media not ending with –MV (such as the...

Where are Lonzas Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (AoSMC) isolated from?

While Lonza’s Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (AoSMC) are isolated from either the ascending or descending aorta, it is usually the ascending aorta that is used. If the heart comes with the aorta, which happens most of the time, then the AoSMC are...

When performing a Lonza Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET), LAL or PyroGene Recombinant Factor C (rFC), endotoxin detection assay how should I handle the LAL reagent?

Lonza LAL reagent should be handled gently. After reconstitution, the contents of the vial will easily go into solution by either gently inverting or swirling the vial. Vortexing or vigorously shaking the reconstituted LAL reagent will cause it to...

Which isotype of VEGF is used in the EGM®-2 and EGM®-2MV Growth Media?

The isotype of VEGF is used in the EGM®-2 and EGM®-2MV Growth Media is isotype 165.

Where are Lonzas Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (PASMC) cells isolated from?

There is no specification on whether the tissue for Lonza’s PASMCs comes from the area closest to the heart or the area closest to the lung.Generally, the tissue is pulled from the area branching off the heart so long as Lonza receives a long enough...

When performing a Lonza Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET), LAL or PyroGene Recombinant Factor C (rFC), endotoxin detection assay how should I prepare my sample for testing?

There are a few ways in which your sample can be prepared before testing it. Most samples only need to be diluted before they are tested with one of our endotoxin detection kits. In order to determine how far out you should dilute your sample, you...

What is the concentration of sugar in Lonzas endothelial cell media?

While the complete formulation of all of Lonza’s specialty media are proprietary, the EBM™, EBM™-2, and EBM™ phenol red free basal media will all contain D-glucose (dextrose) [CAS number 50-99-7] at exactly 1.0 g/L (5.55 mM). There are no other...

Are Lonzas Smooth Muscle Cells contractile or synthetic?

Lonza’s Smooth Muscle Cells are synthetic in their proliferating state. As the cells begin to differentiate, they become contractile.
