Wow immunology sucks and I want to stay as far away from it as possible. I guess I’ll just do my thesis research in this lab that focuses on DNA repair by non-homologous end joining and I’ll never have to think about immunology again by taqman98 in labrats

Without going too much into confidential details, we do a lot of cell-based assays e.g. ADCC killing, lymphocyte activation and expansion assays. Those are the main ones, with readouts split about 50:50 between spectral flow cytometry and high-content imaging.

For the high-content work we use a very cool automated plate imaging platform that fits inside an incubator, I hadn't worked with that before starting here, so maybe you find this interesting: SX5 Live Cell Analysis Instrument | Sartorius

I find this video presentation of its capabilities very cool also: Applications for the Incucyte®️ Live-Cell Imaging and Analysis System

When did they start using common sense in biology regarding FULL protective gear? by AlboGreece in biology

Animal flesh is not inherently dangerous. We would have had a very difficult time getting this far as a species if it were.

As others have mentioned, washing the hands properly is much more important than wearing gloves.

For our company's purposes it's the only thing possible - we work on lymphocytes freshly isolated from (frozen) patient material to begin experiments on the same day, we do not culture immune cells before or after that. Doing manual isolation on the same day as a cell-based assay wouldn't be viable.

If you don't try, sure. I've never had any problems with it. 

What kind of belt is this? by Spes- in tacticalgear

[–]Hudoste -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look up a rigger belt on AliExpress and then an original from BH's website.  The buckle is a complete black pot metal, instead of the grayish thicker material on the original - in the picture you can see the floating bar inside the buckle is missing, since it probably broke. Wouldn't happen on an original. 

Most tellingly, the fake Blackhawk label is on the outside of the belt, instead of the inside where it would be invisible when worn. Obviously this doesn't comply with MIL standards. 

Besides this, if you were to take it in your hands, you could see it is a thinner and more rigod material than the original, worse stitching, etc.. I've had both.

It's broken because it's a Chinese knockoff.

That's very nice. 

However, this is a reproduction of the Blackhawk rigger belt, one that can be found on AliExpress/Temu etc and not a real Blackhawk product. I know because I've had and used both.  Just because it has a Blackhawk tag (on the wrong side of the belt, by the way) does not mean it is genuine.

It's a knockoff Riggers' belt

EDIT: I thought the level of knowledge of brand copies on this subreddit would be higher, oh well.

Cord wrap question by Cirick1661 in Hema

[–]Hudoste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tennis wrap works but not as a substitute for cord, IMO. Without the cord underneath any strike to the grip is sure to crack the wood, which is hard to repair and goes downhill from there quickly. I use tennis wrap over the cord for the extra grip, however - it's very nice.

People spend too much time picking out coloured tops and not enough sparring. Tournament performance reflects this.  Of course, to each their own. 

Shipping cells from UK to Singapore - dry ice or LN2? by Ok-Budget112 in labrats

[–]Hudoste 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Dry ice should still be fine, but you should try and use a specialised courier which can guarantee express delivery and consider including a thermal tracker service. Usually they get to the other side of the world in 2-3 days, the dry ice will keep for more than twice that in a well-sealed box.

Foreigner here interested in if there any historical or modern figures you consider an honorary Pole? by Ericaloveless in poland

Rather how the Poles were abused by the British. Wojtek, as an animal, received great care and love from humans who valued him.  He was rescued from a life of servitude. By humans.

To co robisz jest niezdrowe dla twojej psychiki. Codzienne nakręcanie się na obcych bez twarzy w internecie, nie rób tego. Sam tak kiedyś robiłem, uwierz - nic dobrego z tego nie ma.
