Understanding ACSF: A Crucial Solution for Electrophysiology and Acute Brain Slice Maintenance
Artificial Cerebrospinal Fluid (ACSF) is an essential buffer solution widely used in electrophysiology experiments, particularly to keep acute brain slices alive during research. This solution closely mimics the natural cerebrospinal fluid found in the brain and is designed to maintain neuronal viability and function during experiments like patch-clamp recordings. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of ACSF, its composition, and practical tips to optimize its use.

Understanding the Different Experimental Applications for Vibratomes vs. Microtomes (vs. Both)
In the realm of scientific research, particularly in histology, neuroscience, and pathology, precise sectioning of biological samples is critical. Two primary instruments used for this purpose are vibratomes and microtomes. Each has its unique advantages and applications, as well as some overlapping uses. In this article, we will explore the different experimental applications for vibratomes and microtomes, and situations where both can be employed.
If you’re involved in tissue sectioning, you’ve probably heard the terms “vibrating microtome” and “vibratome” thrown around quite a bit. Spoiler alert: they’re actually the same thing! But let’s dive a bit deeper into what these nifty tools are, their history, and how Precisionary Instruments has made some game-changing improvements over the years with our Compresstome vibratome models.

Lab Spotlight: Dr. Lingyan Shi and the Laboratory of Optical Bioimaging and Spectroscopy at UC San Diego
“Our goal is to develop and apply new ultrafast laser scanning multimodal imaging and spectroscopic technologies, such as stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), second harmonic generation (SHG), and multiphoton fluorescence (MPF) microscopy, for visualizing molecular composition and metabolic dynamics in situ at subcellular resolution to study aging and diseases,” explains Professor Lingyan Shi. The Laboratory of Optical Bioimaging and Spectroscopy, led by Dr. Shi, is at the forefront of this groundbreaking research.
