  • Cell Culture - Storage

    Wednesday, November 29, 2023
    I am using these sterile tubes to freeze my cell samples. I used them with HEK-293 (Human Embryonic Kidney Cells) and THP-1 Cells (Human Monocytic Cell Line). I have never had any cell contamination. Also I have never had any problem with these tubes while I keep them in nitrogen liquid during the ... read more
  • Bench Equipment (Centrifuge)

    Tuesday, November 28, 2023
    I highly recommend this centrifuge. I can centrifuge with a speed up to 4500 rpm(rotation per minute). You can change the support that you use for your sample, which means you can centrifuge tubes or plates… You can change the temperature from -11 degrees Celsius up to 40 degrees Celsius. Also, it ... read more
  • Cell Culture - Petri Dish

    Wednesday, November 15, 2023
    I am using this petri dish for HEK-293 (Human Embryonic Cell Culture). It is very useful to increase the number of cells because in this dish I can have up to around 10 million HEK cells. I am adding in general 10 ml of medium, however, for example if you unfreeze your cell and you want to dilute ... read more
  • Cell Culture Flask

    Monday, November 13, 2023
    I am using this flask with non-adherent THP-1 cell line (human monocytic cell line), however you can use it for adherent cells as well. The cap of the flask has a filter which lets the cells exchange the oxygen or carbon dioxide but at the same time it keeps the medium sterile. I have never had any ... read more
  • Electrophysiological Recording

    Monday, November 13, 2023
    In our laboratory we are using this device to record electrophysiological current at a single channel level. You can use purified protein to see the activity of only that protein or you can use more than one protein or a complex of protein to see a global activity. There are 4 different chambers in ... read more
  • Bench Equipment (Mini Centrifuge)

    Monday, November 13, 2023
    I highly recommend this centrifuge because it is very easy to use and efficient. It does 6500 rotations per minute and it accelerates and slows down very quickly. In my experiment I am using Eppendorf microtubes for 1,5ml, however, you can use it with 2 ml microtubes or with an adapter for smaller ... read more
  • Cell Culture Solution

    Monday, November 13, 2023
    I am using this physiological medium in cell culture. In my experiments as a cell model I am using HEK-293 cells (Human Embryonic Kidney Cells) and I am going up to 3 hours of incubation in that medium. I have never crossed a cell death problem. However, even though it is a physiological medium, I ... read more
  • Cell Culture Medium

    Monday, November 13, 2023
    It is a very optimized medium for HEK-293 (Human Embryonic Kidney Cells) cell lines. Cell proliferation and survival is great in this medium. I am just completing this medium with fetal bovine serum and penicillin streptomycin or in other words with antibiotics. You can find phenol red which ... read more
  • Cell Culture - Petri Dish

    Wednesday, November 01, 2023
    I highly recommend this petri dish. I used it with different cell lines such as HEK-293 (Human Embryonic Kidney Cells), THP-1 cell (human monocytic cell line), and with BMDM cells (bone marrow derived macrophages). I didn’t observe any adhesion, cell death, or contamination problems. read more
  • Bench Equipment (Water Bath)

    Tuesday, August 01, 2023
    I highly recommend this bench equipment because it is easy to use and high precision. You can calibrate the temperature starting from room temperature up to 100 degree celsius. Error margin of this device is too low. However if you want to increase the temperature of your sample it can take a bit of... read more
