Overview

BrainPhys™ Imaging Optimized Medium is a serum-free neuronal basal medium (based on the BrainPhys™ formulation published by Cedric Bardy and Fred H. Gage) that is optimized for imaging applications.

Applications of BrainPhys™ Imaging Optimized Medium include live fluorescent imaging (calcium imaging and optogenetics) and neuronal culture. In addition to the removal of phenol red, the formulation has been modified to reduce background fluorescence and increase stability upon repeated exposure to light (M Zabolocki et al. Nat Comm, 2020).
