Tech Tips

Two-photon absorption
Doing two-photon microscopy? Here is a good link for two-photon absorption cross-sections for dyes: http://www.drbio.cornell.edu/cross_sections.html

Antigen Retrieval Techniques
Antigen retrieval techniques (used to unmask antigens in samples for immunolabeling) typically involve heating the sample but the best instrument, buffer, and timing differ from antigen to antigen. Here is one guide to different techniques: http://www.ihcworld.com/epitope-retrieval. Note: not all antigens require antigen retrieval.

The History of Molecular Probes

Label. Detect. Take a trip down memory lane.
