Preparation of agar wells for antibiotic assay.
A variety of devices such as stainless-steel or ceramic cylinders, single or multiple in design, and paper discs of several sizes are commonly used for antibiotic assays performed by the agar diffusion method. Holes cut in agar (agar wells) are wells with melted agar is often necessary to obtain uniform inhibition zones (2). This note describes a method for the preparation of agar-well plates w...

متن کاملEvaluation of MEMS materials of construction for implantable medical devices.
Medical devices based on microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) platforms are currently being proposed for a wide variety of implantable applications. However, biocompatibility data for typical MEMS materials of construction and processing, obtained from standard tests currently recognized by regulatory agencies, has not been published. Likewise, the effects of common sterilization techniques o...
متن کاملThe soft agar colony formation assay.
Anchorage-independent growth is the ability of transformed cells to grow independently of a solid surface, and is a hallmark of carcinogenesis. The soft agar colony formation assay is a well-established method for characterizing this capability in vitro and is considered to be one of the most stringent tests for malignant transformation in cells. This assay also allows for semi-quantitative eva...
متن کاملAssay for adhesion and agar invasion in S. cerevisiae.
Yeasts are found in natural biofilms, where many microorganisms colonize surfaces. In artificial environments, such as surfaces of man-made objects, biofilms can reduce industrial productivity, destroy structures, and threaten human life. 1-3 On the other hand, harnessing the power of biofilms can help clean the environment and generate sustainable energy. 4-8 The ability of S. cerevisiae to co...
