Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes are isolated and cryopreserved from the cortex of Sprague Dawley Rats at day E19 of gestation. A flexible, ready-to-use, and quality alternative to fresh astrocytes, each vial contains 1 million cells per mL, passaged once before cryopreservation. These cells consistently yield a post-thaw viability of >70%.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
What are some of the key applications for astrocytes?
Astrocytes can be used to research cell transplantation, intracellular transport, ion-channel function, toxicity, receptor signaling, analyses of electrophysiological properties, neurotransmitter release, and evaluation of interaction between neurons and astrocytes.
I used rat primary cortical astrocytes from another company and observed cell aggregates after thawing but not with the astrocytes from your company. Why?
Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes were dissociated into single cells before cryopreservation, which gives an advantage to control the number of cells to plate.
How can I coat Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes on glass coverslips?
We recommend cleaning the coverslips and then coating them with 0.01% poly-D-lysine in double distilled water.
What is the doubling time of Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes?
The doubling time of Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes is about 8.7 days.
For how many passages can I expand Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes?
Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes can be thawed, recovered, and proliferated up to three passages to yield 1.5-2 fold increase of cells.
