Gibco Primary Rat Cortex Neurons are isolated and cryopreserved from day-18 rat embryos. A flexible, ready-to-use and quality alternative to fresh neurons, each vial contains 1 million cells per mL. These neurons consistently yield post-thaw viability in the range of 50–80% and have high neuronal purity.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between Primary Rat Cortex Neurons, Sprague Dawley and Primary Rat Cortex Neurons?
These neurons differ in the rat strain from which they were isolated: Sprague Dawley vs. Fisher 344. These neurons don't expand anymore. They just grow neurites. The manual (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/manuals/MAN0001574-PrimaryRatCortex-HippocampusNeurons-UG.pdf) has instructions for culturing the cells. You can use Neurobasal Plus/B-27 Plus/GlutaMAX to culture them, or just Neurobasal/B-27/GlutaMAX. However, the former combination provides much superior performance than the latter and can maintain neurons longer.
I'm currently culturing neurons. Which media system do you recommend using in conjunction with the Poly-D-Lysine matrix?
We recommend using the B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System when culturing neurons on Poly-D-Lysine. The B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System is a complete media system that includes the B-27 Plus Supplement and the Neurobasal Plus Medium.
