The Pierce™ Primary Neuron Isolation Kit provides isolation and culturing reagents for the optimal yield and viability of primary neurons from embryonic cortical and hippocampal tissue from mouse and rat.
- Procedure and reagents optimized for viability, yield, purity, and ease-of-use
- Provides a 2-fold increase in yield compared to do-it-yourself methods
- Greater than 95% of isolated cells remain viable in culture from Day 1 to Week 4
- Cultured neurons contain processes indicative of complete differentiation and functionality
The Primary Neuron Isolation Kit has been designed to obtain high viability and purity of primary embryonic neurons using validated reagents and an optimized procedure for enzymatic digestion and culturing. The kit contains tissue-specific dissociation enzymes, media formulated specifically for neuronal cell culture, and cell culture supplements that promote the isolation and growth of functional neurons. The validated protocol and reagents produce highly pure primary neurons for either short- or long-term culture, and the kit is designed for use by both experienced and non-experienced users.
