Dear Georg, There are different ways to set-up counterdiffusion experiment but the set-up you mentioned is done in a single capillary. The easiest way is to prepare the agarose and when it is still warm pipette the 100 microL on any surface, I use a piece of parafilm. Them you have to adsorb it wi

Hello Georg, You can melt the agarose in a glass container using a microwave oven. Then connect your capillary tube to small syringe, using a plastic tubing or adapter. Use some parafilm if the tubing diameters do not fit exactly, there should be no leaks. Then slowly pull the plunger to take ~100

Hi, Warmed up capillary and hamilton syringe works fine (i used heat lamps similar to pizza heaters used by all-night pizza joints). You can get a cheap heat lamp from most pet stores (terrarium heaters). Artem On Jan 5, 2015 11:32 AM, "Georg Mlynek" wrote: > Dear Colleagues, > > After reading

Hi Georg, I haven't used the agarose method, but have sealed many capillaries using bees wax without an issue. Simply heat the wax until it melts, dip the capillary (rotate if it has a larger diameter) then let cool. I hope that helps, cheers! Sean Seaver, PhD P212121 http://store.p212121.co
