Visual Patch Testing: Definition, Mechanism, and Application

What is Visual Patch Testing? Patch tests are one of the popular diagnostic tools used in clinical labs to investigate allergies.[1] Its main application includes the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis (a delayed type of hypersensitivity – type IV reaction). The test was introduced in the late 19th century, preceded by some preliminary experiments.[1] However, […]

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? […]

Ultimate Guide on Neuronal or Brain Slice Electrophysiology

What is Brain Slice? Electrophysiology refers to studying the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. Thus, brain or neuronal electrophysiology pertains to a branch of electrophysiology that deals with measuring electric current or voltage changes in one neuronal cell, a brain slice, or the whole brain. The methodology was first introduced by Yamamoto and […]

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 […]

What Is A Brain Slice? Everything To Know About A Brain Slice

Introduction Today, we all — biologists or not — have an idea about how the brain functions. The advanced techniques and lab procedures have made the knowledge accessible and unlocked many mysteries related to brain functioning. One such procedure is brain slicing. It’s a process in which parts of the brain are divided using advanced […]

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 […]

Principle, Technique & Types of ELISA Assay

What is ELISA? ELISA is short for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.[1] It’s an analytical biochemical assay used to study antibodies, glycoproteins, peptides, proteins, and hormones. A solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) in this assay is used to detect the targeted protein in a liquid sample using targeted antibodies. The antigens are attached to the surface, and the […]
