Unlocking the Secrets of Antibiotic Resistance: How Shear Flow Systems Are Revolutionizing the Fight Against Superbugs
In the ongoing battle against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or “superbugs,” scientists are constantly seeking innovative tools to understand the mechanisms of resistance and develop effective treatments. One such groundbreaking technology is shear flow systems, which have emerged as game-changers in microbiological research. By simulating the dynamic conditions of bacteria’s natural environments,
From Milliliters to Microliters: How a Shear Flow System Can Reduce Sample Requirements for Experiments
Imagine working with a rare patient-derived cell samples. In a traditional setup, you might need 1 milliliter of sample (equivalent to about 20 drops) to run an experiment. With a microfluidic system, you could potentially get the same results with just 10 microliters (about one-half of a single drop). This
Single Cells: Lab Tune Sung to the Rhythm of “Jingle Bells”
By Jessica Hartman, Ph.D. Toiling in the lab With a deadline on its way To the scope I go On a Saturday I don’t see a clone I’ve looked for one that’s right What misery these data bring, I’ll have to look all night, Oh! Single cells, single cells, dilutions
