Product Description
Neuronal Growth Supplement (NGS) is a medium supplement designed for the optimal growth of normal human neurons in vitro. It is a sterile, concentrated (100X) solution which contains growth factors, hormones, and proteins necessary for the culture of normal human neurons. The supplement is formulated (quantitatively and qualitatively) to provide a defined and optimally balanced growth environment that maximally promotes the growth of normal human neurons in vitro. The supplement is designed as an additive for neuronal medium (NM, Cat. No. 1521) and should be used in conjunction with that medium.

Components
NGS is packaged in the quantity of supplement suited for a 500 ml bottle of NM. When a 500 ml bottle of NM is supplemented with NGS, the final concentrations of the supplement components per milliliter will be BSA 10 μg, dcAMP 10 μg, insulin 5 μg, FGF-2 2 ng, IGF-I 2 ng, NGF 2 ng, hydrocortisone 1 μg, progesterone 20 nM and retinoic acid 100 nM.

Product Use
NGS is for research use only. It is not approved for human or animal use, or for application in in vitro diagnostic procedures.
