Astrocyte Differentiation Medium For Rat Neural Stem Cells

Introduction

Astrocytes (also known as astroglial cells) are star-shaped glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord. They perform essential biological functions such as participating in the formation of the blood-brain barrier, providing nutrients to neural tissue, maintaining extracellular ion balance, and have potential applications in the treatment of brain injuries and spinal cord damage.

Astrocytes are widely used in neurobiological research, including maintaining the extracellular environment of the central nervous system, supporting neuronal metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, and contributing to the development of new drugs for Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

OriCell™ Astrocyte Differentiation Medium For Rat Neural Stem Cells contains a basal medium and additives designed to induce neural stem cells to differentiate into astrocytes. This kit effectively induces the differentiation of rat neural stem cells into astrocytes.

Product Information

QC

• Pass the detection of bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, and endotoxins.
• Pass the detection of osmotic pressure and pH.
• Pass the detection of product quality.

Please refer to "COA" for details.

General Handing Principles

• Ensure that all equipment is kept clean and tidy.
• Standard operation method. Please operate according to the method described in the product manual, strictly control the variables, and do a controlled experiment.
• The ingredients should be properly stored in accordance with the storage conditions and used as soon as possible.
• If a complete set of medium cannot be used in a short period of time, it should be prepared in batches according to the volume ratio of each component in the kit and stored in aliquots.

Product Stability and Storage Conditions

• All ingredients must be kept in dark place.
• The basal medium should be stored in a refrigerator at 4°C for a period of 1 year. Other components should be stored at -20°C for a period of 2 years.
• The prepared complete medium can be stored at 4°C for a period of 1 month. If the culture conditions are stable, the container has great sealing performance, and there is no alternation of hot and cold condition, the period of using can be appropriately extended, but not exceed 45 days.
• Please use all products within the expiration date. Expired ingredients may significantly affect the cell culture effect.
