Primary Rat Cortex Neurons

Gibco Primary Rat Cortex Neurons (RCNs) are isolated and cryopreserved from day-18 Fischer 344 rat embryos. These cryopreserved RCNs offer a flexible, ready-to-use, and high-quality source of cells for neuronal experiments. They consistently yield post-thaw viability in the range of 50–80% and maintain high neuronal purity. Cryopreserved neurons are suitable for various applications requiring primary rat brain neurons, including patch-clamp electrophysiology, MEA, neurite outgrowth, synaptic protein expression, and neuron toxicity assays.

• Convenience—these cryopreserved rat cortical neurons (RCNs) can be stored until needed and are ready to use when you plan your cell-based assays. They provide a convenient alternative to isolating neurons on your own.
• Reliability—harvested from the cortex, these cryopreserved neurons meet rigorous quality standards to help ensure consistent performance
• High Quality—every batch of Gibco Rat Cortex Neurons undergoes thorough testing, including viability assessment, immunofluorescence staining to confirm neuronal purity, sterility testing, and mycoplasma testing
• Availability—our large-scale manufacturing capabilities allow us to support recurring orders of significant size and other requests, helping ensure you have the cells you need to complete your research studies
