ACDAS: an automated chemotaxis data acquisition system.

Abstract

An automated system (ACDAS) for rapid collection and analysis of data from leading front chemotaxis assays is described. ACDAS automatically computes (1) net cell migration from operator-entered end point signals and (2) means and standard errors of the mean from data sets of user-determined size. ACDAS reduces data collecting and processing time by more than 50% compared to manual methods. Other applications of ACDAS are discussed.

Effects of sample-diluent interactions on surface tension and pressures in continuous flow manifolds.

When a plasma sample is aspirated into a continuous flow analyser the internal pressure of the manifold increases. The pressure change is the result of insufficient detergent present to bind all the protein in the sample, and is a potential source of inaccuracy and imprecision in the assay. It is recommended that Brij 35 be used at a concentration 10 times above the binding capacity of the albumin in the sample, to minimise changes in pressure between samples.
