Mindblown 🤯🤯🤯 by the new MilliCell automated cell counter I just got for the lab @merckgroup. Should have bought this years ago! Super accurate count in haemocytometer and confluency estimate in directly in flask. 1000% recommended!!

Promoting #Zinc staining which is as sensitive as that of #Silver staining and it takes ONLY 360 seconds!!! 1) Rince the gel with water 30 seconds 2) Shake the gel in 0.2 M imidazole 300 seconds 3) Soak the gel in 0.3 M Zinc Chloride 30 seconds!! And the magic happens 👇👇👇👇
