Ncyte Cortical Neuron Kit

Cortical neurons are part of the central nervous system, where they form networks responsible for associative and cognitive functions. They play a vital role in many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Ncyte cortical neurons can be used separately for experiments, or in co-culture with hiPSC-derived astrocytes to recapitulate aspects of in vivo cortical development.

The Ncyte Cortical Neuron Kit is highly suitable for early and late drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease, in vitro neurotoxicity assays and disease modeling through electrophysiological, metabolic and imaging-based assays. Spontaneous activity in multi-electrode array (MEA) assays can be detected as early as day 4, presenting firing patterns that evolve into more complex structured patterns of activity in long-term culture.
