The cells are:
• Performance tested—at least 16 population doublings when cultured in Medium 200 supplemented with Large Vessel Endothelial Supplement (LVES)
• Guaranteed to be ≥ 70% viable
• Tested for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast or other fungi, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV-1 viruses

Each vial contains over 0.5 x10⁶ viable cells that have been cryopreserved at the end of the primary culture stage in a medium containing 10% DMSO.
