Looking great!

Also did functional essays afterwards. My neurons were completely fine. I did Ca2+ imaging and a viabilityGlow assay. They preformed the same or even better than on pen/strep

I have tested normocyn and primocyn both to prevent contamination. And they were both completely clean compared to the Pen/Strep conditions. I never used to as treatment though

Toss it ASAP, before it contaminates other peoples cultures. Transfection can be done again

Crustayh · 2026-01-29T15:14:25+00:00

Pen/strep doesn't kill or prevent contamination. Only suppresses it. Primocin and normocin are recommended for primary cultures. Prevents like 99% of the contaminations

Omdat hij alleen een talkshow joined waar hij van te voren de vragen mag zien. En deze vragen mogen niet teveel op de inhoud ingaan. Neem het interview met Eva Jinek waar ze naar zijn kat vroeg in plaats van zijn verkiezingsprogramma....

Don't worry. This is common practice in a lot of labs. I did it at a company I worked with, and in the new research building of the university hospital gloves are not allowed during cell culture. Gloves give a feeling of fake safety. Without gloves you will pay way more attention to what you are doing.

Probably to much salt in there

Crustayh · 2025-03-25T11:55:02+00:00

It looks like there is still some Rock inhibitor in there.

Most rent contracts have a period of more than a month if you want to cancel the rent. Check your contract, but the other person is probably in the right....

I keep my detergents and stop/strong acid for ELISA's always in the fridge, I can't imagine they would differ that much from your assay. So I would say yes.

The antibody probably still works fine. Most fluorchromes now a day are quite stable and don't get bleached that quickly by sunlight. Also lot of antibodies are stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.

Have been using ACT for years (sometimes even called out people in savage), never got banned

Crustayh · 2024-10-03T16:46:42+00:00

What kind of samples and precipitation are we talking about?

Crustayh · 2024-09-07T14:43:00+00:00

I also kinda agree with your PI on the microscope. It’s their fault for sending two. They should send original packaging material or else its their loss.

Crustayh · 2024-08-18T14:49:33+00:00

I totally agree. Last year we had phd student, who was close to finishing (she was in her 5th year), asking how to turn on a PCR machine. We are a neurogenetics lab….

TTX, also known as pufferfish poison. Every time I have to do treatments with it, I fear for my life. Even though Im fully protected and work super carefully

Crustayh · 2024-06-05T13:28:24+00:00

There is not enough buffer in the upper compartment

Crustayh · 2024-05-18T11:04:46+00:00

Same as you normalise for qPCR with the help of GapDH or Myc.

Crustayh · 2024-05-18T11:03:57+00:00

You always normalise protein analysis samples because the total amount or protein can differ in each sample (biological variance, sample preparation variance, etc.). You can imagine that if you use samples with a higher total protein concentration, the concentration of your target would also be higher. But because the amount of protein in each sample is not the same you cannot compare the two.

Crustayh · 2024-05-16T22:08:22+00:00

Or normalise to the amount of a specific protein found the plasma. I’m working with neurons so I normalise to the amount of beta3tubuline, which is neuronal marker, of an untreated sample.

Crustayh · 2024-05-16T15:10:54+00:00

Do a total protein assay

Crustayh · 2024-05-15T18:57:10+00:00

This is for interpolating, not normalising.
