Israeli-German partnership aims to replace animal experiments with advanced liver-on-chip devices

Spinout’s microfluidics device better models how cancer and other cells interact in the body.

Stain-free gel chemistry uses a unique compound, which, when activated, reacts with tryptophan residues in the protein sample to emit a fluorescence signal. This allows the quick visualization of proteins without any staining steps. In addition, stain-free gel chemistry makes it possible to use total protein levels as a loading control rather than the housekeeping proteins used in traditional western blotting protocols. This negates the need to strip and reprobe blots and prevents any attendant errors that can be introduced at this step.

Results suggest that brainwaves could be used by security systems to verify a person's identity
