Save 100 USD on our hN2™ Primary Neurons

Potent, Pure and Easy to Culture

Assay data continues to roll in. I am pleased by the high lot to lot consistencies of our hN2 Primary Human Neurons resulting in data reproducibility. Here're an examples of outgrowth/tox assays: In conjunction with Molecular Devices' ImageeXpress HCI platform, hN2 differentiated neuronal cells can be used to evaluate potential toxic effects of test compounds on nuerite outgrowth through visualizing cells stained with β-lll tubulin.

Figure: Dose response curves for the effect of neurotoxic agents on neurite outgrowth. hN2™ cells were cultured in the presence of cytotoxic compounds for 72h, stained for β-lll tubulin, imaged with the ImageeXpress and analyzed for neurite outgrowth.

Save 100 USD on Our New Cardiomyocytes

Potent, Pure and Easy to Culture

I am pleased to announce the addition of Human Cardiomyocytes to our Stem and Cell Based Assay Solutions.

These cells are optimized to provide addition options for in-vitro testing of drug to drug candidate toxicities allowing researchers to rule out the ineffective and potentially toxic small molecules/compounds early in the process.

I want to make it easy for you to buy and try. If you are not delighted with your results, I will replace free of charge or refund your purchase. Please also note the select positive feedback on our other primary and stem cells:
We recently used the hMSCs derived from Umbilical Cord Blood. Their performance was nothing less than excellent. We were highly impressed with their morphology and their doubling rate. In addition the cells respond very well to accutase and maintain their performance after passaging. We highly recommend this cell line. Rodney Nash, Ph.D, Georgia State University.
Combined Hippocampus, Cortex, and Ventricular Neurons: "I got 10 million cells total after extraction from the tissue. At Day 4 they all developed long axons. Thank you so much for the replacement." Dr. Lidia Gardner, University of Tennessee HSC.
Neuromics always provides excellent products and the best customer service. I highly recommend this company's antibodies and neuronal cultures. Kirsten Raehal, Purdue Pharma

Network vs Isolated Bursting in Motor Neurons

Motor Neurons and MEA
Dysregulated bursting is at the root of many motor neuron/neuromuscular junction disease. ArunA Biomedical teaming with Axion Biosystems have generated relevant bursting data from our Mouse Motor Neurons cultured on Axion-Bioystem's Maestro MEA.

MEA and Motor Neurons

Plating Densities of Motor Neurons Matter!

I wanted to share some of the tips and data shared during the ArunA Biomedical's/Axion Biosystem's Webinar on MEA and our Mouse Motor Neurons

Plating Cells on Axion's MEA

• Surface Coating PEI-laminin for adhesion and uniform monolayer development 
• Dotting Constrains cells to the array 
• Requires fewer cells per well 
• Media changes every 2-3 days
• Variations on Cell Density

Detailed Protocol for Culturing Motor Neurons on MEA

Different Plating Densities

Plating Densities between 60,000-80,000 Optimal
At these densities there was the least variation in mean firing rates. This data shows as the density increased the cells moved towards firing in synchronicity.

The demand for using these motor neurons for neuromuscular diseases drug discovery has been brisk and growing.

Neuromics' Neuronal Cultures in Action

Drug Discovery and Tox Assay Publications

Our Primary Human, Rat and Mouse Neurons are widely used and frequently cited in publications. Here's a pub hot of the presses referencing use of our e18 Rat Cortical Neurons to study the 

EPO-like cytoprotective effects cultures of these cells: James L. Miller, Timothy J. Church, Dmitri Leonoudakis, Karen Lariosa-Willingham, Normand L. Frigon, Connie S, Tettenborn, Jeffrey R. Spencer, and Juha Punnonen. Discovery and Characterization of Nonpeptidyl Agonists of The Tissue-Protective Erythropoietin Receptor. Molecular Pharmacology. May 27, 2015 mol.115.098400

...Cells were isolated from micro-surgically dissected embryonic day 18 rat cortices that were obtained from Neuromics (Edina, MN), and cultures were prepared according to the supplier's protocol.
