Why it matters
Generating reliable human neuronal models is often a major bottleneck in neuroscience research. Lengthy differentiation protocols, heterogeneous cell populations and poor batch-to-batch consistency can delay projects and compromise data reproducibility. Researchers need a standardised, functional neuronal model that is ready when they are.
Key Challenges
Traditional iPSC differentiation workflows typically require weeks of cell culture and extensive optimisation, while producing variable neuronal populations.
This variability can affect electrophysiology, disease modelling and drug screening results, making it difficult to generate robust, reproducible data across experiments and laboratories.
Most Competitively Priced Human Glutamatergic Neuron Models On The Market!
Overview
ioGlutamatergic Neurons, powered by Opti-ox™ technology, are cryopreserved human iPSC-derived glutamatergic neurons that rapidly mature into highly pure, functional excitatory neuronal networks after thawing.
They provide a reproducible, ready-to-use human model that enables researchers to focus on their science rather than cell differentiation.

Rapid Functional Maturation
Following thawing, ioGlutamatergic Neurons quickly develop mature neuronal morphology, extensive axonal outgrowth and interconnected neuronal networks. Researchers can perform functional studies without lengthy differentiation protocols.

Functional Neuronal Networks
High-density microelectrode array (HD-MEA) recordings demonstrate progressive neuronal maturation after thawing. By Day 31 in vitro, neuronal firing becomes highly synchronised, confirming the establishment of functional excitatory neuronal networks suitable for advanced electrophysiology studies.

Demonstrated Lot-to-Lot Reproducibility
Reliable research depends on consistent cell models. Principal component analysis (PCA) confirms excellent transcriptomic consistency across independently manufactured production lots, supporting highly reproducible experimental performance.
