A surgical technique for implantation of commercially available telemetry transmitters used for continuous measurement of biopotential (one-lead ECG), heart rate, core body temperature and locomotor activity in freely moving mice is shown. Recommendations and protocols for post-operative care and pain relief, improving recovery, well being and survival rate are also presented.

The baroreflex is a heart-rate regulation mechanism by the autonomic nervous system in response to blood-pressure changes. We describe a surgical technique to implant telemetry transmitters for continuous and simultaneous measurement of electrocardiogram and blood pressure in mice. This can determine spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity, an important prognostic marker for cardiovascular disease.

Salmonella invades and replicates inside intestinal epithelial cells both in Salmonella-specific vacuoles and free in the cytosol (hyper-replication). A high-throughput fluorescence microscopy-based protocol is described here to quantify the intracellular phenotypes of Salmonella by two complementary image analyses through ImageJ, reaching single-cell resolution and scoring.
FAQs
The Beer-Lambert relationship is useful when absorbance remains appropriately related to concentration under suitable measurement conditions. Analysts can compare the optical responses of samples with known concentrations and use that relationship to estimate an unknown concentration. When those conditions do not apply, the signal may not support a reliable quantitative result, so the concentration interpretation requires caution.
At a selected wavelength, the measured signal reflects how strongly the sample's absorbing species interacts with incident light. Wavelength choice therefore helps determine which species contribute to the response and supports composition studies. Comparing measurements made at appropriate selected wavelengths can aid identification of absorbing species, rather than treating every optical reading as equally informative.
The instrument's light comparison produces transmittance, but absorbance provides the form commonly connected with concentration through the Beer-Lambert law. That distinction matters because the transmitted fraction is an optical measurement, whereas a concentration estimate requires an appropriate relationship between absorbance and concentration. Separating these steps helps analysts interpret the instrument output without equating transmission directly with composition.
A calibration curve translates optical response into a quantitative estimate. Analysts measure samples with known concentrations, relate their absorbance values to those concentrations, and then compare an unknown sample with the resulting relationship. This approach supports concentration determination while keeping the estimate tied to the measured chemical system, rather than assuming that any transmittance value has a universal concentration meaning.
A typical workflow begins by selecting relevant wavelengths and using the instrument to compare incident with transmitted light. The resulting fraction can be expressed as transmittance and, when appropriate, converted to absorbance. Analysts can then compare the absorbance response with a calibration curve or examine its change during a reaction, linking the measurement to a specific analytical goal.
Chemists may apply this approach when they need information about solution concentration, sample purity, composition, or reaction progress. The same optical measurement can therefore serve different purposes: quantifying a component, recognizing absorbing species, assessing whether a sample contains unexpected contributions, or following chemical change over time. Its value depends on interpreting the response within the relevant chemical system.
