Catalog Number
AM02
Product Format
Liquid (20x500ml bottles)
Product Description
Ames’ Medium was developed to support retinal tissue in short-term culture. It has demonstrated the ability to maintain rabbit retina for over two days, preserving both metabolic function and electrical responses to light stimuli. This medium is a preferred choice for maintaining central nervous system (CNS) tissue in vitro.
Scientific Relevance
The retina serves as a robust and accessible in vitro model for CNS research. Unlike most neural tissues, rabbit retina is naturally avascular and relies on diffusion from surrounding capillaries. This makes it uniquely suited to survive in artificial media that closely mimic physiological conditions. Ames’ Medium supports these requirements, providing an environment conducive to survival and functional activity outside the body.
