The largest database of trusted experimental protocols

6 port minicube

Manufactured by Doric

The 6-port minicube is a compact laboratory equipment designed to provide a controlled environment for various experimental applications. It features six access ports, allowing for the introduction and manipulation of samples or materials within the enclosed space. The device is designed to maintain consistent environmental conditions, such as temperature and atmospheric composition, to facilitate precise and reproducible experiments.

Calcium and Dopamine Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GCaMP6f, GCaMP7f or dLight1.1 were excited by amplitude modulated signals from two light-emitting diodes (465- and 405-nm isosbestic control, DORIC) reflected off dichroic mirrors (6-port minicube, DORIC) and coupled into a single FP optic fiber (400um-core, NA 0.48, DORIC). Sensor signals and isosbestic control emissions were returned through the same optic fiber and acquired using a femtowatt photoreceiver (Newport), digitized at 1017 Hz, and recorded by a real-time signal processor (RZ5P, Tucker Davis Technologies, RRID:SCR_006495). Behavioral and event timestamps were digitized in Synapse software (Tucker Davis Technologies) by TTL inputs from Med-PC, Any-Maze, or manual triggers. Power of light used for imaging (<0.2 mW) is ~2 orders of magnitude less than used for laser stimulation (10 mW), and the distance between the brain sites of stimulation and calcium or DA imaging was >3.5 mm.

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.
