Product Overview

Description

iNeuMito™ biosensor is a mitochondrial calcium flux sensor. These cells are engineered to express iNeuMito™ biosensor, which has been developed to use a highly sensitive fluorescence-based biosensor as a reporter gene to monitor mitochondrial calcium flux and cytotoxicity. Excitation = 610nm; emission = 625nm. The iNeuMito™ biosensor is introduced into the cell using a proprietary magnetic liposome-mediated method and expressed in the mitochondria (using a marker protein such as COX IV).

iNeuATP™, a fluorescent biosensor, has also been custom incorporated into the human iNeuRapid™ cell line. With iNeuATP™, biosensor assays provide fast kinetics (resolution in seconds) when measuring real-time cellular ATP metabolism and cytotoxicity. The analysis of cellular oxidative phosphorylation directly reflects the health and function of mitochondria. Excitation = 535nm; emission = 550nm.

Starting Materials: immortalized human cell line.

Mycoplasma Testing

The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.

Sterility Testing

Sterility testing was performed in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.

Genetic Stability Testing

Cell genetic stability study was perfomed under ICH guidelines. We provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.

Shipping

Dry ice

Storage

Liquid Nitrogen

Handling Advice

Frozen cells: Upon receipt, frozen ampoules should be transferred directly to gaseous phase liquid nitrogen without delay, unless they are to be used straight away.

Growing cells: Growing cell cultures should be checked on receipt using an inverted microscope. Immediately check the cell density upon arrival for any obvious defects. If the cell density is too high (more than 80% confluent) subculture the cells (harvest and reseed) immediately.

For detailed instructions on the thawing procedure of frozen cells and the culture of adherent or suspended cells, please feel free to contact us by email or phone.

Research Use Only

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Warnings

Store under recommended storage conditions (liquid nitrogen). Do not expose to high temperature. After expiration, discard all remaining reagents. It is recommended to use cells within ten generations.
