I use MEA 2100 sistem in my research on hippocampal slices. Has anyone had a problem with poor adhesion of the medium to the electrodes?

I often find that the hippocampal slice has poor contact with the MEA 2100-Lite-System. For example, only a part of the slice area can give a good signal. Who has already solved this problem, can...

Ethylene glycol is newtonian or non newtonian fluid?

Some sources say it is treated as Newtonian as ethylene glycol has a higher viscosity than water, which affects the flow characteristics in simulations. But some also say it is non-Newtonian.

It is a good composites system. When you put the high molecular weight PEG or PEO at 70 degrees Celsius to melt and rapid mixed with geopolymer paste, and then pressing in model, you can obtain composites sheets after cured.

Thanks for your answer but I need to make thin section to study micro structure of my geopolymer concrete. Thus I think it shouldn't be used for making thin section because it changes the micro structure. Am I right?
