Can you guess the story behind this breakthrough? #TriviaTuesday 💡
Question
In 2016, which academic & industry collaboration created an apparatus for measuring ATP consumption in permeabilized tissue?
Hint
It's affordable, high-res, and fits on an inverted microscope!
The annual @cpw-liverpool.bsky.social starts today!
The two-week course enables students to learn how to perform cutting-edge electrophysiology experiments. We are thrilled to support the course by providing a 9000SMZ vibratome.
To learn more about the 9000SMZ: lnkd.in/e5QeiWp9
Absolutely thrilled to share our Q&A with Dr. Daniel Ham from the @ruegglab.bsky.social who generously gave us a behind-the-scenes look into his @natcomms.nature.com paper.
