Gibco™ Hibernate™-E Medium

Hibernate™-E Medium

Hibernate Medium is a CO₂-independent nutrient medium for the maintenance of neural cells, tissue, and tissue slices. Hibernate-E Medium is optimized for embryonic cells or tissue in ambient carbon dioxide levels.

Hibernate Medium enables neurons to be maintained in ambient CO₂ levels for up to 48 hours. This provides scientists with greater convenience and control while running bench-top live cell experiments, such as microscopy, flow cytometry, and other physiology studies. Hibernate Medium also allows for the preservation of viable brain tissue before processing for up to a month with refrigeration and maintenance of tissue slices.

Hibernate Medium may be combined with B-27 Supplements to yield a complete medium.

For other applications, we provide alternative formulations of Hibernate Medium and B-27 Supplements.

For established protocols using Hibernate Medium, access our Gibco Neurobiology Protocol Handbook.
