Mixed Population of Neural Cells

Overview

With this system, Neural Stem Cell (NSC) populations can be differentiated into mixed populations of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.  All reagents are fully-defined, animal component-free and have been developed together to ensure optimal consistency for your research. Built to be modern, our media formulations incorporate a number of tools validated within the neuroscience field to improve key research areas including electrophysiology, neurite outgrowth/branching and long-term culturing.

Low-density cultures

Mixed populations of neural cells

Long-term culturing capacity (>50 days)

Maximal adherence.  No cell body clumping
