Respiratory diseases have a profound impact on human health, making their study of paramount importance. These diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections, impose a significant burden on individuals and society as a whole. They can cause debilitating symptoms, reduce quality of life, and even lead to premature death. Moreover, respiratory […]
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a type of dementia that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which are responsible for personality, behavior, language, and emotional regulation. FTD is also sometimes referred to as frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) or Pick’s disease. FTD is caused by the degeneration of neurons in the frontal and temporal […]
Precisionary Instruments Tackles Lung Diseases Worldwide World Lung Day, a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about lung health and combating lung diseases, is fast approaching. Celebrated annually on September 25th, this year’s World Lung Day promises to be an impactful event that brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and the public to address the […]
Welcome to World Alzheimer’s Day 2023, observed on September 21st every year. Today, we come together to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, support those affected by it, and advocate for continued research and progress in finding effective treatments and prevention strategies. Join us in honoring this important day and standing united in the fight against […]
The field of histology and tissue sectioning has seen remarkable advancements over the years, and one essential tool that has played a significant role in this progress is the rotary microtome. Rotary microtomes have revolutionized sectioning techniques, allowing researchers to obtain thin and precise tissue sections for various applications. In this article, we will delve […]
Oxygenation of a buffer solution for electrophysiology is important to maintain the viability of cells and tissues, as well as to prevent the formation of artifacts during recordings. Here are the general steps to oxygenate a buffer solution for electrophysiology: Prepare the buffer solution according to the protocol for your specific experiment. Fill a clean […]
When it comes to studying large-sized organs or tissues, such as brains, kidneys, or even entire embryos, researchers often face a significant challenge in obtaining thin and consistent sections for analysis. Traditional sectioning methods may struggle to handle the size and delicate nature of these specimens. However, we at Precisionary Instruments have developed a powerful […]
Sex hormones are hormones that play a role in the development and maintenance of the male and female reproductive systems, as well as secondary sexual characteristics. There are two main categories of sex hormones: androgens and estrogens. Androgens are responsible for the development and maintenance of male characteristics. The main androgen in males is testosterone, […]
Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues, and how these properties generate and propagate electrical signals in the body. This field is used to understand the electrical activity of cells in the heart, brain, and other organs, and to diagnose and treat various health conditions, such as arrhythmias and […]
How do I embed and cut great spinal cord slice? You asked, and we listened! We realized that embedding spinal cord tissue for cutting slices is quite difficult. Working with our biomedical illustrator, we came up with this visual protocol to help you embed spinal cord for slicing: How about some spinal cord references? You […]
