VitroGel NEURON
Ready-to-use, xeno-free hydrogel system for neural stem cell and neuron cultures
Product Description
VitroGel® NEURON hydrogel is a synthetic matrix with functional ligands that support the culture of neuronal neuroblasts, mature neurons, and iPSC-derived neural stem cell (NSC) maintenance and differentiation. The hydrogel can be used for 2D and 3D cell culture applications.
VitroGel® NEURON hydrogel is a ready-to-use, xeno-free, transparent, and room temperature stable system, compatible with imaging systems and suitable for laboratory automation and clinical applications. VitroGel® NEURON hydrogel polymerizes once the solution is combined with the medium. Growth factors can be mixed with the matrix or added on top of the gel to support NSC cultures.

Performance Data
Figure 1. VitroGel® NEURON sustains long-term 3D neuronal differentiation. Immunofluorescence staining of neuronal cultures for the neuron-specific marker beta-III-tubulin on days 7,14, and 21 post-differentiation induction. Images represent the following: A. Light microscopy image of neuronal cultures. B. Beta-III-tubulin presence, indicative of positive neuronal differentiation. C. Nuclei staining using DAPI (blue). D. Merged images of B and C, and A for Day 14. Images were obtained using Image Xpress Nano Imaging System from Molecular Devices at a 20X magnification.
