Neuronal cell models are the foundation of neurobiology research

Neurobiology research is essential for understanding the complexities of the human brain and developing innovative treatments for neurological diseases. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers comprehensive solutions to support your research, whether you are working with primary rodent neurons, human neural cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), 2D or 3D cell culture models. Our extensive range of neurobiology cell culture products are designed to support every step of your journey, from the culture and differentiation of stem cells to the long-term maintenance and maturation of neuronal cell models.

Gibco Neurobiology Protocol Handbook

Discover 20 optimized protocols, best practices, and resources from our experienced scientists.

Comprehensive solutions for neuronal cell culture research and innovations

Primary neural cell models

We offer optimized Gibco media and supplements for primary neural cell cultures and a selection of cryopreserved primary rodent neurons and astrocytes.

PSC-derived neural cell models

Leverage human iPSCs to model neural cell types using our offering of neural stem cell products supporting culture, engineering, differentiation, and analysis.

Maintaining neuronal cell models

Bona fide neurons require time to mature in culture, and the B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System is designed to deliver the necessary long-term viability and functionality of primary and iPSC-derived neurons.

Organoid and 3D models

3D cell cultures like organoids and spheroids can offer excellent models for neurobiology, mimicking in vivo conditions better than 2D cultures, aiding disease modeling and regenerative medicine.

Neurobiology cell analysis

Discover advanced cell analysis solutions for neuronal stem cell research, enabling differentiation pathway analysis, cell viability evaluation, gene expression tracking, and functional assays to answer neuroscience questions

Recombinant proteins for neurobiology research

Gibco, PeproTech, and Invitrogen recombinant proteins such as neurotrophins, BDNF, EGF, and FGF-basic support neurobiology research by promoting neuronal survival, differentiation, and neural stem cell maintenance.
