Description & Advantages
MCE Bi-27 Serum-free Supplement (50×), Insulin-Free is a customized formulation developed by removing insulin from the standard Bi-27 formulation. As a neuronal cell culture supplement, it is specifically designed to support the growth and maintenance of hippocampal neurons and other central nervous system (CNS) neurons in applications where the presence of insulin may interfere with experimental outcomes.
This product is an optimized serum-free supplement formulation enriched with multiple antioxidants to help reduce oxidative stress-induced cellular damage, thereby improving neuronal viability and culture stability.
The recommended working concentration of Bi-27 Supplement is 2% (v/v), corresponding to a 1:50 dilution before use in the culture medium.
