Campenot chamber principles for compartmented cultures. The culture dish is coated with collagen, and then the substratum is scarified with a pin rake. A shaped Teflon gasket with silicon grease on its bottom edges is placed in the chamber over the scarified tracks. Dissociated mouse superior cervical ganglion neurons are then plated in the central chamber. Neurite outgrowths are then confirmed as they project into the adjacent chambers.
