Gibco™ Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes 
Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes provide neuroscience researchers with a ready-to-use, highly pure source of astrocytes for experiments.
Supplier: Gibco™ N7745100
Description
Gibco Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes are isolated and cryopreserved from the cortex of Sprague Dawley rats at day E19 of gestation. The astrocytes are passaged only once before cryopreservation and consistently yield post-thaw viability of 70% or greater. Each vial contains 1 million cells per mL and provides a flexible, ready-to-use, and quality alternative to fresh astrocytes.
Rat Primary Cortical Astrocyte details
- Exhibit ≥70% viability upon thawing
- Stain >80% positive for the astrocyte specific marker glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP)
- Stain ≤10% positive for neuron and oligodendrocyte specific markers galactocerebroside (GalC) and doublecortin (DCX) or tubulin beta-3 (TUBB3)
- Exhibit a doubling time of approximately nine days at P2
- Can be expanded in culture for at least one passage
