Human SynFire® neurons and Astroglia for co-culture studies
Co-Culture kits contain GABAergic and Glutamatergic Neurons, Astroglia, and all of the media necessary to establish a co-culture model for functional neuron studies. Kits containing only GABAergic neurons, astroglia and media (Cat. No. NC1002-10), or only glutamatergic neurons, astroglia, and media (Cat. No. NC1001-10) are also available.
Co-Culture Kits are available in two configurations suitable for general culture (Cat. No. NC1010-1.5) or MEA assays (Cat. No. NC1010-7.5). Please see the specification for kit contents.
Advantages of SynFire iNs include:
- Real Human Biology
These cells more closely resemble real human biology than alternatives such as common animal models or other iPSC-based systems. SynFire iNs provide better suitability to predict responses to test agents. - Rapid and Homogeneous Maturation
SynFire iNs develop mature synaptic network activity within 3-4 weeks. These iNs show synchronous bursting phenotypes similar to rodent primary cultures. - Reliable, Robust, and Ready-to-Use Cultures
This differentiation approach results in a highly defined in vitro system with lot-to-lot consistency that provides reproducible results. - Flexible Modular System
The user can control subtype seeding densities and ratios to customize cultures to specific projects. Custom kit configurations are available.
