Gibco™ Neurobasal™-A Medium is a specialized basal medium formulated for the long-term maintenance and maturation of post-natal and adult brain neurons in vitro. When supplemented with Gibco™ B-27 Supplement, this medium supports the growth of highly pure neuronal cultures without the need for an astrocyte feeder layer.
Optimized for neuronal viability and synaptic development, Neurobasal™-A Medium provides a serum-free environment that minimizes glial proliferation while promoting neuronal survival and function.
