“I've been doing area postrema and hypothalamic neuronal cell culture with *Hibernate and *Neurobasal media. The cells are fantastic and people always compliment us on how pretty they are.” Mark Fry Department of Physiology, Sigma P6407, Queen's University
Invitrogen says, "We highly recommend BrainBits as a great resource in obtaining neurons."
"I have been using primary neuronal cultures prepared from embryonic and neonatal rat pups for patch clamp experiments for over 20 years. I recently discovered that BrainBits could deliver brain tissue by overnight delivery, obviating the expenses of a vivarium. I was doubtful that ’day old’ tissue could possibly work for my neuronal preps, but decided to give it a try. I was amazed at how well the neurons looked and more importantly, how well they worked for my patch clamp recordings. I am a true believer." Robert E. Petroski, Ph.D. , Biotech Scientist
"...The aim or our project is to isolate newborn as well as mature neurons from adult mouse brain for subsequent FACS (Fluorecence Activated Cell Sorting) analysis. Keeping the tissue/cells in Hibernate A during the dissociation process has greatly improved the yield of healthy cells."
Kristina Hellstrom, NeuroNova, Stockholm
"...Sometimes it takes students a long time to dissect a brain out of a mouse and Hibernate A still works. Beautiful neurons! The fountain of youth has nothing on this stuff!"
Tigwa H. Davis, University of Michigan
"...*Hibernate is doing a great job for us. My students are brand new to microdissection, so due to their time constraints we wound up taking hippocampi out one day and completing the prep the next day after leaving the tissue in the refrigerator overnight. Thanks to the Hibernate their cell yields were great."
Jan Whitson, Ph.D., Concordia University, Nebraska
"I am very grateful for your product, as it has allowed me to test my microdevices in a physiologically relevant, timely, and cost-effective manner."
Neville Mehenti, graduate student, Stanford
"...I have been very happy with this product. It is very novel and lives up to its name. There are no other products I know of that are capable of keeping neuronal tissues alive or healthy for such extended periods of time." http://www.biocompare.com/review/928/Hibernate-Media-From-BrainBits-LLC.html Elizabeth Hawkes, University of California, San Francisco
