Benefits of using the ENO-30 for Nitrate and Nitrite Detection
A system capable of quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite from biological samples in minutes called the ENO-30. The ENO-30 is a fast and highly sensitive system down to 0.1 picomoles.
How to Choose the Right Behavioral Test for Your Research
There are many categories of behavioral tests used to assess a variety of different brain functions & how they relate to behavior. We will describe the main categories, types of tests & what they measure.
5-minute Analysis of Dopamine and Serotonin in Brain Microdialysate
In this video, we’ll show you how to detect and analyze dopamine and serotonin levels in brain microdialysis samples in 5 minutes. For this analysis, we use HPLC-ECD, cost-effective & ultra-sensitive data.
