Neuromics review summary
Sample Reviews:
Ravi D.on BirdEye★★★★★
We have ordered Brain derived Endothelial Cells or BECs. We could not find these in different
companies, particularly from multiple donors. Overall, we are happy with the products.
Olesya P.on BirdEye★★★★★
We bought a large order of FBS from Neuromics. Our experience with their customer service was great.
They offered us the best price and worked with us on any issue issues that came up on our side.
Jiehua Z.on BirdEye★★★★★
We ordered the cells, medium and related culture product. Fast ordering and delivery procedure, and
nice technique support. The cells grew well as described and we can easily expand them.

7. HUMAN BBB MODEL TEST APPLICATIONS
• Toxicology Assays
Permeability Studies -Compounds, Oligos and Small Molecules :
General Procedure
3D Blood Brain Barrier models are thawed and cultured for 4 days to establish viable barrier
as measured by transendothelial electrical resistance (> 150 Ω x cm2).
The test compound and fluorescent probe are added and the cultures are returned to
incubate for designated times.
If assessment of alterations to BBB permeability due to drug treatment is required,
fluorescent dextran conjugate is added to wells
Media is sampled for quantitation of test articles by UPLC, and for quantification of
fluorecent probe by plate reader
Apparent permeability is calculated

drug treatment. Data presented as mean ± SEM x 10-6 cm/s. * Indicates p<0.05
