Product Overview

Description

The cation voltage biosensor iNeuVol™ responds as a cellular fluorescent reporter (excitation/emission: 610nm / 625nm) and is integrated into iNeu's iPSC-derived neural progenitor cell iNStem. iNStem is derived from a non-integrated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line under fully defined proprietary neural induction conditions. When cultured in a monolayer, iNeuCal™-iNStem cells have a polarized structure and express markers such as Vimentin. We have verified that iNStem™ cells are pluripotent neural and glial progenitor cells because they can be further differentiated into neural and glial cell types under specific in vitro reprogramming conditions. The iNeuVol™ biosensor is introduced into cells using a proprietary liposome-mediated method.

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.
