Recommended Medium:It is recommended to use Smooth Muscle Cell Medium (ECM, Cat. #1101) for culturing HCASMC in vitro.
Product Use: HCASMC are for research use only. They are not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
Storage: Upon receiving, directly and immediately transfer the cells from dry ice to liquid nitrogen and keep the cells in liquid nitrogen until they are needed for experiments.
Shipping: Dry ice.
