Are the Clonetics embryonic rat/mouse neuronal cells from a single donor or pooled?

The cells are pooled from whole litters, including both males and females.

Which reporter gene should I choose for my reporter gene experiment?

In general, all reporter genes can be used.For some applications (e.g. reporter gene experiments in various primary cells, experiments with late analysis time point due to starving and /or stimulation) a reporter gene with a longer half life than...

What is the age of the rats and mice the Clonetics embryonic neuronal cells are isolated from?

Both are of embryonic origin: the rats are E18 or E19 and the mice are E14 or E15.

How can cells be cured of mycoplasma contamination?

Where contamination has occurred, and the sample absolutely cannot be discarded, the MycoZap™ Mycoplasma Elimination Reagent has been optimized to eliminate mycoplasma with minimal toxic effects on the cells. The MycoZap™ Reagent eliminates...

I thawed and plated my Clonetics embryonic rat or mouse neuronal cells and there are a lot of dead cells. What happened?

Cell death will usually be observed during the first few days of growth, resulting in cell debris in the culture – this is normal. Cell cultivation should be continued and surviving cells should start to develop. By day 4, neurite networks will be...

Are there any contaminating glial cells in your Clonetics rat or mouse embryonic neuronal cells?

There will be a small amount of glial cells in the culture, these are not considered a contaminating cell type. The glial cells are necessary to help the neurons form their axons and dendrites, synchronize the activity of the axons, and remove...

When I transfected my cells, error 8 appeared on the display of the Nucleofector® IIN, IIS or 2b. What is the reason?

Error 8 occurs when there has been an arc within the cuvette during application of the electrical program. The pulse application started but was interrupted because too much current was detected. Efficiency may be lower than expected due to the...

Do we sell the Nucleofector® Solution (or any other component of the Nucleofector® Kit) separately?

We don't sell the individual components of the kits separately because our product line is a kit concept line to ensure the use of certified products with quality controlled lot numbers that guarantee optimal results.

How to maximize cell viability in a Nucleofection® experiment?

Pay careful attention to centrifugation speeds prior to Nucleofection®; be sure not to centrifuge the cells at higher than 90xg. Any trypsinization should use the minimal amount of reagent and time necessary in order to minimize stress to the cells,...

Where can I find the meaning of the 4D-Nucleofector® System Error Codes?

In the back of the respective manuals, there is a chart giving a brief description of the error codes. If more information is needed or an error code is recurrent, it is best to contact Scientific Support for advice to determine if there is a...
