ioGlutamatergic Neurons are deterministically programmed from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) using opti-ox technology. Within days, cells convert consistently to mature, functional glutamatergic neurons characterised by >80% expression of glutamate transporter genes VGLUT1 and VGLUT2.
Glutamatergic neurons are highly defined and characterised, and are delivered cryopreserved and ready-to-culture, making them a high-quality, easy-to-use, human model for translational research, disease modelling and drug discovery.
In addition to the wild type, our portfolio includes glutamatergic neurons carrying disease-relevant mutations for studying ALS, FTD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Gaucher and Huntington's diseases, and CRISPR-ready glutamatergic neurons expressing Cas9 nuclease for rapid gene knockout generation.
Confidently investigate your phenotype of interest across multiple clones with our disease model clone panel. Detailed characterisation data (below) and bulk RNA sequencing data (upon request) help you select specific clones if required.
per vial
A maximum number of 20 vials applies. If you would like to order more than 20 vials, please contact us at orders@bit.bio.
Quick
Ready for experimentation as early as 2 days post revival and form functional neuronal networks at 17 days.
Scalable
Industrial scale quantities at a price point that allows the cells to be used from research to screening scale.
Easy to use
Cells arrive programmed to mature rapidly upon revival. One medium is required in a two-step protocol.
