BrainPhys™ Without Phenol Red
Overview
Based on the formulation by Bardy and Gage (Bardy C et al. PNAS, 2015), BrainPhys™ serum-free neuronal basal medium is optimized to yield a higher proportion of synaptically active neurons by mimicking the central nervous system extracellular environment. Use BrainPhys™ Without Phenol Red to culture primary neurons, differentiate and mature hPSC-derived neurons, record microelectrode array-based neuronal activity, live-fluorescent image neurons, and transdifferentiate somatic cells to neurons without hormonal signaling.
To ensure cell survival in long-term serum-free culture, BrainPhys™ Without Phenol Red must be combined with an appropriate serum-replacement supplement, such as NeuroCult™ SM1 Neuronal Supplement (Catalog #05711) and/or N2 Supplement-A (Catalog #07152).
• Improved neuronal function and a higher proportion of synaptically active neurons
• Perform functional assays without changing media and shocking cells
• Supports long-term culture of ES/iPS cell- and CNS-derived neurons
• Rigorous raw material screening and quality control ensure minimal lot-to-lot variability
