A low-risk way to try human cells in your research
- Evaluation packs* provide your first three vials of any ioCells product for a fixed lower price, letting you test our human iPSC-derived cells (microglia, neurons, and more) in your own lab.
- Three vials provide enough cells to run a proof-of-concept study and compare ioCells to your existing models.
Publishable research in 12 weeks
This case study showcases the research of Professor Deepak Srivastava's lab at King鈥檚 College London, and their use of human iPSC-derived ioGlutamatergic Neurons to optimise their experimental timelines in their recent publication identifying schizophrenia risk factors.
Proven protocols to get you started
An expanding collection of easy-to-use protocols, optimised by 不良研究所's experts to save you time and get you data quickly.
Available protocols
- Multi-cell culture of neurons and glia including MEA experiments
- Cell characterisation assays such as ICC/IF staining, cell counting, or cell detachment
- Cell transfection with mRNA
A maximum number of 20 vials applies. If you would like to order more than 20 vials, please contact us at orders@不良研究所.
Confidently investigate your phenotype of interest across multiple clones with our disease model clone panel. Detailed characterisation data (below) and bulk RNA sequencing data (upon request) help you select specific clones if required.

鈥淲e can now start asking questions that, ten years ago, we didn鈥檛 know how to answer,鈥� Duchen reflects. 鈥淚f you have a really good disease model, then the only limit is your imagination.鈥�

"ioGlutamatergic Neurons are easy to use with a simple application protocol. They recover quickly after thaw and are able to form a mature mesh of neurons ideal for testing within a few days."
Dr Irit Reichenstein
Senior Scientist | Anima Biotech
"We did use the cells and were very happy with them :) They were very homogenous (unlike motor neurons from other vendors that we worked with), viable and absolutely beautiful. We got wonderful results with them."
Dr Mariangela Iovino
Senior Group Leader | Biology Discovery | Charles River
鈥淥ur major surprise when we first used the ioGlutamatergic Neurons was that after thawing the cells in 384-well format, we could see immediately after 2 days a nice neuronal network, and there was no well to well variability within the same plate. This made our assay quite robust.鈥�

Research Associate | University of Cambridge
"These cells provide a reliable and pure source of glutamatergic neurons, resembling primary human ones. They are ready-to-use which makes it much more easy for tissue culture work and for reproducible results.鈥�
Dr Simone Mader
Junior Group Leader | Institute of Clinical Neuroimmunology | LMU Munich
"不良研究所鈥檚 ioGlutamatergic Neurons provide a human model that is well-characterised, batch-consistent, and easy to use with our limited neuronal culture experience. We are grateful for the support from the 不良研究所 team and are now preparing our data for publication."
Dr Elizabeth Di Lullo
Associate Scientific Director | Brainever
鈥淲e thawed the cells and they looked wonderful. Close to 100% viable and looked great in cell culture! No clumping and easy to culture.鈥�
