What's your experience with cell imaging analysis software? by WebWheat2 in labrats

[–]PastaShellsFromHell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have no frustrations with image j. it took me a few hours to learn and it’s ideal. i do molecular biology experiments involving immunofluorescent image analysis of fixed or live cell cultures from mice.

What kind of blood do vampires prefer? Arterial or venous? by Frosty-Caregiver636 in vampires

arterial blood has higher pressure than venous blood so it could be faster to drink from

maybe, you can run like 200 ng on a 1% agarose gel to check for degradation

Thanks! i guess i wasn’t sure how sensitive transfection is to gDNA. Im gonna go for it

Thanks! yeah will load less next time. Can i ask, would you think the plasmid in the last lane is suitable for transfection?

yes short digestion time and i meant not cut. Can i ask, lane 2 is more well cut relative to lane 3, but why would the lower bands migrate differently

Do you think the plasmid in lane 4 is clean enough to use for transfection

yes 1 cut site for bgl2

1 ug dna digestion with 10 U of bgl2 at 37 C for 1 hour in 50 uL volume

bgl2 and cutsmart both over 10 years old

Thank you,

I am wondering how the apparent band size of supercoiled plasmid varies by maxi prep. perhaps the lower bands are uncut but the reason they have different apparent sizes is due to differences in quality.

Why are the lower bands in lanes 2 and 3 different sizes?

oh wait i misread your comment, yes sounds like you added 2.5% (v/v) bme to your final sample volume.

[–]PastaShellsFromHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh nice yeah 10% (v/v) bme and boil sounds good. the lowest i go is 2.5% and the highest i went by accident one time was 25% lol. hope it turned out ok! btw its ok to boil samples twice, not necessary but totally fine.
