Gibco Rat Glial Precursor Cells are isolated and cryopreserved from the cortex of newborn Sprague Dawley Rats. A flexible, ready-to-use, and quality alternative to fresh precursor cells, each vial contains 1 million cells per mL. These cells consistently yield a post-thaw viability of >50%. Upon proliferation in StemPro NSC SFM, >80% of the cells retain their undifferentiated phenotype with the capability to differentiate into oligodendrocytes and astrocytes.

The cells are isolated under sterile conditions, expanded in complete StemPro NSC SFM, and cryopreserved at Passage 2. Each vial can be expanded once to give >2-fold increase in cells.
