The University of Virginia awarded contract A207_PO-0477367 to American Type Culture Collection on September 5, 2026, for the supply of specialized cell culture media and growth supplements. The contract, valued at $925, encompasses two primary product lines: five units of Vascular Cell Basal Medium (PCS-100-030 TM) at $64 per unit, and five units of Endothelial Cell Growth Kit-VEGF (PCS-100-041 TM) at $121 per unit. Both items are to be delivered to Madison Alexandria Stampley in Virginia.

The Vascular Cell Basal Medium is a sterile, phenol-red-free liquid tissue culture medium designed to support cells derived from normal human large vessels, including human umbilical vein endothelial cells, aortic endothelial cells, aortic smooth muscle cells, and microvascular endothelial cells. The Endothelial Cell Growth Kit-VEGF serves as a complementary product that, when combined with the basal medium, creates a low-serum culture environment containing purified human recombinant growth factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), along with heparin and hydrocortisone to enhance cell proliferation rates.
