I want to construct new lab in neurodegeneration using transgenic animals and cell lines and I need to know the most important for the studies such as fluorescence and other main used devices.
get a confocal. without a confocal, nothing else would matter, unless you do electrophysiology. than, a stereotaxic frame for intracranial injections and get the lab certified for S1-S2 viruses (there is a lot you can do with viruses these days); than, get an electrophysiology setup. and take in somebody to do molecular biology.
Thanks i have ordered it
but i need other instruments to study also on cell level and imaging also
We study neurodegeneration (MS & Stroke) both In Vivo & Vitro. It all depend on which disease you will study but you need a cell culture unit and an animal care facility. We highly depend on a Bio-PleX (Luminex) system, a QPCR system and a FACS. For imaging, a fluorescent and confocal microscope. Capability for behavioural studies (as above) & immunohistochemistry which includes a freezing microtome and a cryostat.
