Cationic Voltage Biosensor Assay
TempoVol™-iCort: cationic voltage biosensor assay using human iPS-derived . They are derived from integration-free induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines under a fully defined proprietary neural induction and maturation conditions. TempoVol™-iCort cells are polarized structures when plated as a monolayer in culture and express markers such as MAP2 and beta-Tuj. We’ve validated iCort™ cells to be cationic-conducting neurons when exposed to solutions with fluctuating concentrations of sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and protons/H+. TempoVol™ biosensor is introduced to the cells using proprietary methods and is expressed in the in abundance in the cell.

TempoVol ™ + Tempo iNStem™
TempoVol™ Cationic Voltage Biosensor Assay using Human Neural Progenitor Cells
TempoVol™ cationic voltage biosensors are incorporated into human neural progenitor cells. They respond to intracellular ionic changes in the 605nm-625nm fluorescent range (Excitation/Emission = 610nm/625nm), measuring increases or decreases in cytosolic calcium/potassium/proton/sodium concentrations. With excellent signal-to-noise ratios, these calcium biosensors can operate on second-to-minute scales. They can be used for single-cell applications, as well as medium to high-throughput screening platforms.
TempoVol™, a cationic voltage biosensor responds as a cellular fluorescent reporter (Excitation/Emission: 610nm/625nm) and is incorporated into Tempo’s iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells, iNStem. iNStem are derived from integration-free induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines under fully defined proprietary neural induction conditions. TempoCal™-iNStem cells are polarized structures when plated as a monolayer in culture and express markers such as Vimentin. We’ve validated iNStem™ cells to be multipotent neural and glial progenitor cells, as they can be further differentiated into neural and glial cell types under specific in vitro reprogramming conditions. TempoVol™ biosensor is introduced to the cells using proprietary liposome mediated methods.
TempoVol ™ + TempoRapid™
TempoVol™ Cationic Voltage Biosensor Assay using Immortalized Human Neuroepithelial Cells
TempoVol™ cationic voltage biosensor responds as a fluorescent reporter: 605nm-625nm fluorescent range (Excitation/Emission: 610nm/625nm). It is incorporated into Tempo’s proprietary immortalized human neuroepithelial cell line, TempoRapidTM. TempoVol™ control cells serve as a control for all products containing the TempoVol™ biosensor. This product can be used for single-cell applications, as well as medium to high-throughput screening platforms.
