The filters are cloudy. The filter has cracked. All the damaged filters were replaced on Nov. 21, 2021.

Report instrument for repairment

Why building safety culture?

Image
This is a great video worth watching and learning from.  Ref: https://www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mbc.E20-03-0167 Research Center Safety Website: https://sites.google.com/site/rclabsafety/ It is kind of awkward a bit that we don't have an official website. I have made it by myself for the sake of introducing a safety culture to the research center!

Cell Engineering Core Our group is interested in applying engineering principles to the biological system in order to gain a better understanding of human diseases. Thus, we support research ranging from fundamental cell biology to engineering cells for use as a disease model and therapeutic purposes. Our group is multidisciplinary, with physicians, nurses, researchers, and medical technologists as members. Please see the links below for our publications and teaching experiences. If you are interested in consulting with the research team, please complete the form to reserve a time slot seven days in advance.

Science integrity and image duplication

What kind of image manipulation that they have conclude? Category I is defined as, "Figures containing two or more identical panels, either within the same figure or between different figures within the same paper, purporting to represent different experimental conditions." Category II ".included microscopic or blot images with a clear region of overlap, where one image had been shifted, rotated, or reversed with respect to the other." Category III ".consisted of images that were altered with complete or partial duplication of lanes, bands, groups of cells.   sometimes with rotation or reversal with respect to each other, within the same image panel or between panels or figures.

Current status of optic fiber condition (switch from inverted microscope to upright)

Image
  As of 21 Aug 2021, one dim spot was observed. Please take good care of the fiber optic.

Update on the microscope condition

Image
We have just learnt from the Nikon technician that our fiber optic has been damaged. This causes a shadow background while visualizing the sample with a mercury lamp (attached herewith), not a bright field. Besides, all the lenses have been contaminated by the immersion oil. This means that there might be some spilled over while rotating the objective lens.   Please make sure to clean "all the objective lenses" properly after finishing your work.  Learn from my deposited video if you are not sure how to properly clean.  The 60X objective lens of the upright microscope does not work properly anymore and I decided not to replace it with a new one since it is extremely expensive.  I decided to switch the optic fiber between inverted and upright. Thus, the shadow will instead appear in the inverted microscope in the cell culture-micro room. We need to place an order for the new optic fiber and I do not know when it will be approved (cost perhaps  > 80,000 baht). The FITC filte

How to have Endnote connect with Google docs (update: 2024-04-23)

Image
  I think it is worth to share this trick. Normally, I use sciwheel to cite in the ggDoc.  ---- Thank you for contacting Clarivate.  I understand you would like to have Endnote connect with Google doc. I will glad to assist you on this. It is possible to use EndNote to place citations into a Google Doc. It will take a few steps and you will still need to have EndNote installed on your desktop.  Step 1 : Drag and drop your citations from EndNote to where you want to place them in your Google doc.  Step 2:  When you're finished writing, download your Google doc in Rich Text Format (.rtf) Step 3 : In EndNote, select Tools - Format Paper - Format Paper and choose your .rtf file Step 4 : In the Format Paper dialog box that appears, choose the citation style you want under Output Style and click Format. Step 5 . Save the paper as an .rtf file to your desktop. Note: you will lose the citation formatting if you upload this file back into Google docs so complete these steps after you're

Basic Molecular Biology Techniques

Image
In this blog, I will compile online tutorials that demonstrate how to use basic molecular instruments correctly. As I have observed, some students/staff do not enroll in the instrumental course as a prerequisite, and as a result, they use some instruments without proper care, resulting in the instrument being damaged (wasting time and money on situations which could be prevented if they are knowledgeable).

How to effectively run core facility?

Image
We read a lot of research papers but we do not pay attention that much to infrastructure management, especially core facilities. Actually, there are several papers or articles published recently on how to run core effectively and how good facility management helps on research productivity and reproducibility.
