Specimen chambers have had many designs published over the years describing systems that offer excellent optical properties while allowing specimens to be maintained for varying amounts of time. Ranging in complexity from the simple preparation of a sealed coverslip on a microscope slide to sophisticated perfusion chambers that enable tight control of virtually all environmental variables culture chambers are designed to to allow living specimens to be observed with minimal invasion at high res. - [Read Culture Chambers for Live-Cell Imaging]
Protocol describing cytochrome oxidase manometric analysis. Protocol includes: Manometric Analysis and information on the the Gilson Constant Pressure Respirometer. - [Read Cytochrome Oxidase Manometric Analysis]
Protocol is the first in a set of three describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR). The method begins with the harvesting of total RNA from the tissue-cultured cells of interest. For other starting materials, such as blood samples, please see Extraction and Purification of RNA from Blood Samples for Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display. - [Read Extraction and Purification of RNA from Tissue-Cultured Cells for Fluorescent mRNA Differential]

Protocol is the second in a set of three, describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR). For the purposes of FDD gene expression analysis, as well as any other RNA-based gene expression technologies, contaminating genomic DNA must be removed before reverse transcription and subsequent PCR. - [Read Removal of Genomic DNA from Total RNA for Use in Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display Protocol]
A Single Stranded Plasmid DNA Isolation Protocol describing the production and isolation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using bacteriophagemid-containing bacteria and helper phage. Infection of the host cells with helper phage allows for packaging of ssDNA into bacteriophage. The ssDNA can then be isolated from phage particles.
