Source: Paolone, G., et al. Personalized Needles for Microinjections in the Rodent Brain. J. Vis. Exp. (2018).This video demonstrates a rodent brain microneedle injection using a quartz microneedle with holes. The microneedle is attached to a syringe and micropump to control the delivery rate. The needle with the injection solution is inserted into the brain with the delivery speed set at low. Once positioned, the delivery speed is increased. The needle is withdrawn after a brief pause.

Source: Rachel Liu, BAO, MBBCh, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Tube thoracostomy (chest tube placement) is a procedure during which a hollow tube is inserted into the thoracic cavity for drainage of fluid or air. Emergency chest tube insertion is performed for definitive treatment of tension pneumothorax, traumatic hemothorax, large-volume pleural effusions, and empyemas. Irrespective of the cause of air and fluid accumulation in the pleural space, the...

Quartz-Crystal Microbalance Biosensor-Based Biopanning to Study Protein-Drug Interactions

2025
This video demonstrates a method to study protein-drug interactions using QCM biosensor-based biopanning of the T7 phage-displayed peptide library. The biopanning of phages displaying a specific peptide on the QCM biosensor allows specific isolation of high-affinity peptides, followed by amino acid sequencing, which helps to identify specific interaction sites on the target protein.
FAQs
Electrical resistance elements convert electrical energy into heat, while insulation limits heat loss and helps maintain the intended furnace conditions. A temperature controller regulates the heating profile rather than relying on a single fixed temperature. This coordinated design lets engineers expose a sample to controlled thermal conditions and examine how heating changes its behavior or properties.
The tube can support inert, oxidizing, or reducing gases, allowing researchers to control the atmosphere surrounding a sample. This condition is important because thermal processing occurs in combination with the selected chemical environment, not temperature alone. Adjusting the atmosphere helps engineers investigate material responses under different processing conditions and develop targeted material modifications.
The quartz tube provides the work chamber where materials experience the programmed thermal conditions and selected gas environment. Its chemical resistance supports processing while helping maintain a stable, low-contamination setting. That combination is valuable when researchers need to examine thermal behavior or modify materials without introducing unwanted effects from the chamber itself.
Stable, low-contamination conditions make it easier to associate observed changes with the intended thermal treatment and furnace atmosphere. This supports more reliable study of material behavior and property modification. In engineering research, such control is especially useful when developing or evaluating semiconductors, ceramics, metals, and energy-related materials whose performance depends on processing conditions.
A typical workflow places the material inside the quartz tube, establishes the desired temperature profile, and selects an inert, oxidizing, or reducing atmosphere when needed. The furnace then applies the controlled thermal treatment, after which researchers examine the material's behavior or modified properties. The exact profile and atmosphere depend on the intended process.
Quartz tube furnaces support annealing, oxidation, sintering, thin-film growth, and materials synthesis. These processes allow engineers to alter or investigate materials used in semiconductor, ceramic, metallic, and energy-related technologies. The resulting controlled treatments help connect furnace conditions with thermal behavior, material-property changes, and the development of advanced engineering materials.
