Jun 30, 2008 NS21 supports neuronal cultures of high quality as manifested by their morphological characteristics, formation of synapses, and postsynaptic responses. Much of the variability in the quality of B27/NS21 was due to variability in the quality of different sources of bovine serum albumin.
N21-MAX Media Supplement (50X) Summary
For the reliable maturation and superior long-term culture of primary neurons.
Key Benefits
- Provides reliable maturation and superior function of neurons in culture
- Can be used to improve stem cell and 3D culture conditions
- Rigorous quality control testing ensures consistency across experiments
- Is nutrient-rich and serum-free
- Eliminates the need for an astrocyte feeder layer in neuronal cultures
Why Culture Neurons in Serum-Free N21-MAX Media Supplement?
The N21-MAX Media Supplement improves upon the traditional B271 and NS212 neuronal supplements, offering a serum-free and fully-defined formulation that is optimized for the reliable maturation, consistent health, and superior function of neurons in culture. There is an increase in the use of B27-like supplements to optimize stem cell and 3D cell culture media. N21-MAX improves stem cell differentiation and increases the viability and health of differentiated cell types during long-term cell culture conditions.
N21-MAX was designed to eliminate uncontrolled variables, such as those found in both serum-containing media and in some commercial serum-free neuronal supplements. Use of undefined media supplements can confound neuronal growth and maturation. N21-MAX contains a cocktail of factors optimized for neuronal survival, neurite extension, and synaptic maturation. Each lot of N21-MAX is tested on primary hippocampal neurons to ensure consistent performance for the user.
The N21-MAX Media Supplement:
- Is fully defined and quality tested to reduce unwanted experimental variation.
- Contains factors qualified to support reproducible and long-term neuron culture.
- Modified from the published B27 formulation1.
- Does not require an astrocyte feeder layer.
- Has been tested to support the viability and growth of E18 rat hippocampal neurons.

Precautions
This product contains human transferrin. This transferrin was tested at the donor level using an FDA licensed method and found to be non-reactive for anti-HIV-1/2 and Hepatitis B surface antigen. As no testing can offer complete assurance of freedom from infectious agents, these reagents should be handled as if capable of transmitting infection.
View Larger Image | N21-MAX Media Supplement Enhances Synaptic Development. E18 rat hippocampal neurons were grown for 19 days in vitro in media supplemented with either N21-MAX Media Supplement or the neural media supplement from the most widely-used competitor. Cells were incubated with the synaptic vesicle dye, SynaptoRed™ C2 (10 µM; Catalog # 5118), for 1 minute prior to depolarization with 50 mM KCl. Cells were imaged for SynaptoRed™ C2-positive synaptic puncta using the Operetta CLS™ High Content Analysis System. (A) Quantification of SynaptoRed™ C2-positive puncta shows that neurons grown in N21-MAX have an increased number of synaptic puncta compared to the competitor media. (B) Quantification of dye intensity shows that neurons grown in N21-MAX have more robust synaptic activity than neurons cultured in the competitor media. (C) Representative images of SynaptoRed™-C2 staining in neurons cultured in N21-MAX or competitor media. (D) Representative images showing the quantification of synaptic puncta in neurons cultured in N21-MAX or competitor media. Colored circles indicate a SynaptoRed™-positive synaptic puncta. |

E18 rat hippocampal neuron cultures were plated on poly-D-lysine coated coverslips and grown for 5 days in media supplement with either N21-MAX (Catalog # AR008) or another commercial neural media supplement (Competitor). Cells were fixed and immunostained for rod formation, and indicator of cellular stress, using an antibody against cofilin (% of Neurons with Rods). A lower percentage of hippocampal neurons that were cultured in N21-MAX had spontaneous cofilin rod formation (4.5%) compared to neurons cultured in competitor media (16.8%).

View Larger Image | Improved Resolution of Rod Induction in Neurons Cultured in N21-MAX. E18 rat hippocampal neuron cultures were plated on poly-D-lysine coated coverslips and grown for 5 days in N21-MAX (Catalog # AR008). Neurons were then treated with rod-inducing agents or maintained in N21-MAX alone (Untreated). Neurons were fixed and immunostained for rod formation using an antibody against cofilin (% of Neurons with Rods). The low background of rod formation in untreated cultures enabled detection of mild rod induction using Synthetic Amyloid B, Amyloid β dimer/trimer, and TNF-α. As a positive control, treatment with an ATP depletion solution or glutamate resulted in robust rod induction. Data courtesy of the laboratory of Dr. James Bamburg at Colorado State University. |

Preparation and Storage
Background: Neural Stem Cells
Neural stem cells provide an excellent model for research focused on neural development and neurological disorders. R&D Systems offers ready-to-use primary cortical stem cells isolated from E14.5 Sprague-Dawley rats. In addition, primary mouse cortical stem cells isolated from E14.5 CD-1 mice are available. Every lot of R&D Systems Cortical Stem Cells is validated for a high level of Nestin expression and the capacity for multi-lineage differentiation into astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes. Our cortical stem cells are tested to ensure highest quality and lot to lot consistency. Both rat and mouse Cortical Stem Cells can be optimally expanded as monolayers or neurospheres.
To complement the use of primary neural stem cells, we offer a range of supportive products, including culture media which is specifically optimized for use with neural stem cells. We offer kits to promote the in vitro proliferation of neural precursors, and kits to differentiate neural stem cells into dopaminergic neurons or oligodendrocytes. In addition, kits are available which contain panels of antibodies designed to monitor the differentiation and identification of neural precursors, astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes.

FAQs
What advantages does the N21-MAX Media Supplement (Catalog # AR008) have over other neuronal stem cell supplements?
We have performed comparison testing in-house and have found that in long term cultures (21 days), we observe better synapse marker expression.
Additionally, one major formulation difference is that our N21 contains holo-transferrin while other supplements typically contain apo-transferrin. It is reported in the literature that holo-transferrin is preferred for neuronal cell culture. We have also tested several BSA sources to determine which is optimal for neuronal cultures.

The area, intensity, and density of PSD-95 signal are comparable to the culture grown in B27.
Adult human stem cells showed fast growth and took less time to differentiate into neurons. Data is communicated so cannot upload image.
I have previously used Gibco B27®, and Gem21 NeuroPlex™ for culturing of neural cells and neuronal lines. I use typical for co- culture of neurons with astrocytes and microglia . I tried your sample N21 max from R&D and it worked very well with my neuronal cells co cultures. All of these Gibco B27®, and Gem21 NeuroPlex™ and N21 max are Supplied as a 50X concentrate and are list priced at $79 for 10 ml. I would use them all interchangeably as they all worked equally well in my co culture system.
