Sprout mini centrifuge

Manufactured by Biozym
Sourced in Germany

The Sprout mini centrifuge is a compact and portable laboratory equipment designed for basic separation and sample preparation tasks. It has a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM and a capacity of up to 2 x 2 mL microtubes. The centrifuge is suitable for a variety of applications that require rapid sedimentation of small sample volumes.

Immobilization of Glutamate Sensor

Immobilization of the Glu[+Halo] sensor was performed at room temperature. Before use, the Halo-Link® resin (particle size = 45–165 µm, Promega, Mannheim, Germany) was washed twice with MOPS buffer (20 mM, pH 7.3). A suspension of the resin (100 µL) was incubated with 1 mL Glu[+Halo] solution (20 µM) for 1 h in a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube under constant slow inversion. After centrifugation in a tabletop centrifuge (10 s, 2000×g, Sprout Minicentrifuge, Biozym, Hessisch Oldendorf, Germany) the supernatant was removed. Afterwards the resin was washed twice with 20 mM MOPS buffer. The immobilized Glu[+Halo] sensor was stored at 4 °C suspended in MOPS buffer (20% v/v) in the dark. Loading of the beads with the sensor was estimated by comparing the absorption of Venus (λex = 515 nm, ε = 92,200 M−1 cm−1) of the sensor solution before and after immobilization.

Live Imaging of Infected Larvae in Agarose

For live imaging of infected larvae, chambers were prepared by placing two 2.5 mm x 5 mm strips of non-toxic double-sided tape (TES5338, Tesa, Norderstedt, Germany) at the periphery of 35 mm μ-Dishes (# 81166, Ibidi, Gräfelfing, Germany). 1.5% low gelling agarose (LGA) (#A4018, Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in FASW by heating to 80 °C until liquid. The liquid LGA was cooled to and kept at 37 °C until use. 300 larvae in a volume of 1 ml were placed in a 1.5 ml Eppendorf centrifuge tube and quickly vortexed using a Sprout mini centrifuge (#552021, Biozym Scientific GmbH, Hessisch Oldendorf, Germany) to pellet larvae. The larvae and 1.5% LGA at 37 °C were mixed for a final LGA concentration of 1.14% LGA. The mixture was pipetted into the center of the prepared imaging chamber and a glass coverslip was pressed on top of the droplet to adhere on either end to the double-sided tape. The Ibidi plate was filled with 2 ml of FASW. Microscopic analysis was conducted with a Nikon Eclipse Ti inverted microscope using a Nikon Plan Fluor 20x air objective, with images taken every 5 or 15 minutes (as indicated) in DIC and TexasRed channels. Images were processed with Fiji software 87 (link).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
