What is Neurobasal Medium?
Neurobasal Medium is a basal medium designed for long-term maintenance and maturation of pure pre-natal and embryonic neuronal cell populations without the need for an astrocyte feeder layer when used with Gibco B-27 supplements. Neurobasal Medium is suitable for use in most neuronal cell applications.
How long does Neurobasal medium last?
one week
Once supplemented, the complete Neurobasal™ Medium is stable for up to one week when stored in the dark at 2°C to 8°C.

What is Xeno free medium?
Description. Xeno-free and chemically-defined medium devoid of animal- or human-derived components. For stem cell expansion or other uses that must avoid variability due to undefined animal components.
What is l15 medium?
Leibovitz’s L-15 Medium supports the growth of HEP-2 monkey kidney cells and primary explants of embryonic and adult human tissue. L-15 is buffered by phosphates and free base amino acids instead of sodium bicarbonate. This medium is designed for supporting cell growth in environments without CO2 equilibration.
Does B27 have serum?
B27 is a supplement which is added to serum free media to promote growth and proliferation of cells without differentiation (no FBS).
What is in N 2 supplement?
N-2 Plus is composed of Bovine Insulin, Human Transferrin, Putrescine, Selenite, and Progesterone. The supplement is supplied as a 100X concentrate in water.
What is Xeno free?
Our ‘Xeno-Free’ products are non-xenogeneic and animal serum-free. i.e. they do not contain material from species other than human origin. Materials that are described as being ‘Xenogenic’ are derived from a different species and therefore are not genetically or immunologically compatible.
What is Leibovitz’s L 15 medium?
Is GlutaMAX the same as L glutamine?
there is difference between applying GlutaMAX and L-Glutamine. Nonetheless they function the same way as a culture media supplement (normally added around 2 mM). GlutaMAX is a derived form of L-glutamine, in the form of L-alanyl-L-glutamine, which prevents the accumulation of ammonia (which is toxic in cell cultures).
What is N2 medium?
NDiff N2 medium is a proprietary, completely defined, serum-free cell-culture supplement for the derivation, maintenance, expansion, and/or differentiation of human and mouse stem cells and tissue-derived neural stem (NS) cells.
What does ROCK inhibitor do?
A ROCK inhibitor permits survival of dissociated human embryonic stem cells.
Can a Neurobasal medium be used without insulin?
For neural studies that require the absence of insulin, glucose, and sodium pyruvate, such as glucose response or insulin response studies, we recommend Gibco B-27 Supplement Minus Insulin as a supplement to this medium. Neurobasal Medium is suitable for use in most neuronal cell applications.
What is the purpose of Neurobasal 1x liquid?
NEUROBASAL™ Medium (1X) liquid. Neurobasal™ Media are basal media formulated to meet the neuronal cells special requirements. They allow for long-term maintenance of the normal phenotype and growth of neuronal cells, and maintain pure populations of neuronal cells without the need of an astrocyte feeder layer.
Why are Neurobasal media used in neuronal cells?
Neurobasal™ Media are basal media formulated to meet the neuronal cells special requirements. They allow for long-term maintenance of the normal phenotype and growth of neuronal cells, and maintain pure populations of neuronal cells without the need of an astrocyte feeder layer.
What kind of medium is used to culture neurons?
Therefore, neurons are usually cultured in an incubator with basal medium such as DMEM/F12 or neurobasal and supplements. DMEM/F12 Basal Medium Impairs Basic Activity of Human Neurons. We first examined the calcium activity of human neurons in fresh DMEM/F12+sup medium, in which they were cultured for several weeks ( Fig. 1 A ).
