Gibco® PSC Neural Induction Medium (prototype)

Category: Products & Services > Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents > Serum-Free & Specialty Media > Stem Cell Media

Gibco® PSC Neural Induction Medium is a serum-free medium that provides high efficiency neural induction of human pluripotent stems cells (PSCs) in only 7 days. Unlike existing methodologies, use of Gibco® PSC Neural Induction Medium does not require the intermediary step of embryoid body (EB) formation, which adds time, labor, and variability. Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) generated using Gibco® PSC Neural Induction Medium have high expression of NSC markers and can be further differentiated into other neural cell types. Note: The "prototype" status of this product means that the product is curren...

Gibco® Astrocyte Medium

Category: Products & Services > Cell Culture & Transfection Reagents > Serum-Free & Specialty Media > Neuronal Cell Media

GIBCO® Astrocyte Medium has been specially formulated to support the growth of primary human and rat astrocytes while retaining their phenotypes. The medium has been internally validated and optimized to provide an optimal balance between cell growth and the maintenance of cell viability, normal phenotype, and function. If more rapid proliferation is desired, addition of an appropriate amount of epidermal growth factor (EGF) is recommended, although cells may exhibit morphological and phenotypic changes. Astrocytes are a type of glial cells of the nervous system with a typical star shape. It h...
