Fiber Photometry: Definition & Equipment Needed
Reference to this article: ConductScience, Fiber Photometry: Definition & Equipment Needed (2022). doi.org/10.55157/CS20221111 Fiber photometry uses spectroscopy to monitor the cellular dynamics in the cell or organ of interest in vivo. It uses photons from the light of a specified wavelength to trigger cells at the region of interest, enabling researchers to monitor the dynamics […]
How Do I Choose The Right Centrifuge? Factors To Consider!
Centrifuges are one of the most frequently used instruments in research and diagnostic laboratories. They create centrifugal force under the influence of gravity for separating liquid or gas samples into fractions. For example, to separate red blood cells from serum or plasma, or to extract nucleic acids or proteins from biological specimens. How Centrifugation Work? […]
Principle, Types, and Applications of Patch Clamp Electrophysiology
Patch clamp electrophysiology is an experimental technique that reads into electrical events in cells. The electric potential between the cell membrane reveals the workings of cell membranes and ion channels, a group of proteins that detect and control the movement of ions in and out of the cells.[1] The technique was developed through a collaboration […]
Ultimate Guide to Slice Cultures, Types, and Their Relevance
Tissue slices represent the organs or intact tissue for in vitro studies such as biochemical analyses, live-cell imaging, electro-physiological, and pharmacological studies. Theoretically, tissue slices are short-lived and should be used immediately. In practice, tissue slices can be temporarily maintained in cold storage or cryopreserved to reduce or stop their metabolic activities, thus extending their […]
Preservation Techniques: Methods for Preserving Tissue Slices
Are you looking for Slice Electrophysiology Solutions Click Here Tissue slices are viable tissue sections used as in vitro representatives of their originating tissues or organs for metabolic studies, including live-cell imaging, electrophysiological analysis, and pharmacological studies. Theoretically, slices of tissue or organ are immediately used for their intended examinations. However, this is not usually […]
Types of Tissue Slice Techniques for Slice Preparation
Tissue slices are sections of tissue cut from larger pieces or extracted organs and treated in a medium to gain insights into the working of the originating tissue or organ. Unlike sections for histological studies, tissue slices for metabolic studies are not fixed and preserved. Rather, they are prepared immediately after the excision or after […]
Ultimate Guide & Purchasing Guide on Ultrasonic Cleaners
Ultrasonic cleaners use ultrasound and cleaning agents to remove contaminants from the object’s surface. They lean on the ability of sound waves to propagate in a medium and vibrate its molecules, allowing them to access and clean every nook and cranny of the object’s surface. How Do Ultrasonic Cleaners Work? At the most basic, ultrasonic […]
How to Measure Soil Strength and the Factors Affecting It
Soil or shear strength refers to the soil’s capacity to accommodate and withstand a structural load without shearing or deformation. It alludes to the soil’s mechanical properties — whether it could remain cohesive while being subjected to an external force.[1] It is one of the essential mechanical properties of the soil. In geology and civil […]
Basics Of Cell Culture: How To Set Up A Cell Culture Lab
Cell culture is a technique to isolate and culture cells of interest in laboratories. The term cell generally refers to mammalian cells, although the principles apply to prokaryotes and other eukaryotic cells. In cell cultures, animal cells are isolated from tissue sections and cultured in optimal conditions, including temperature, pH, and carbon dioxide to oxygen […]
