Single Virus Genomics (SVG) is a method to isolate and amplify the genomes of single virons. Viral suspensions of a mixed assemblage are sorted using flow cytometry onto a microscope slide with discrete wells containing agarose, thereby capturing the virion and reducing genome shearing during downstream processing. Whole genome amplification is achieved using multiple displacement amplification (MDA) resulting in genomic material that is suitable for sequencing.

A DC power supply is generally considered to be a device that supplies DC, or unidirectional, voltage and current. Batteries are one such power supply, however, they are limited in terms of lifetime and expense. An alternative method to providing unidirectional power is to transform AC line power to DC power using a rectifier. A rectifier is a device that passes current in one direction, and blocks...

This protocol describes single-antibody labeling (SAL) to resolve the nanoscale spatial organization of plasma membrane proteins. By leveraging cumulative antibody-epitope interactions at the single-molecule level, membrane SAL (mSAL) maps local epitope distributions while simultaneously capturing antibody binding behavior in the native cellular environment.

Source: Ali Bazzi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. DC power is unidirectional and flows in one direction, whereas, AC current alternates directions at a frequency of 50-60 Hz. Most common electronic devices are designed to run off of AC power; therefore an input DC source must be inverted to AC. Inverters convert DC voltage to AC through switching action that repeatedly flips the polarity of the input DC source at the output or load side for part of...

Single Phase Transformers

Source: Ali Bazzi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. Transformers are stationary electric machines that step up or down AC voltage. They are typically formed of primary and secondary coils or windings, where the voltage on the primary is stepped up or down at the secondary, or the other way around. When a voltage is applied to one of the windings and current flows in that winding, flux is induced in the magnetic core, coupling both windings. With an AC...
FAQs
The flexible insertion tube advances through the respiratory tract while the integrated light source illuminates the airway. Its camera captures the resulting view and transmits images in real time, allowing clinicians to assess airway conditions as the instrument moves. This immediate visualization supports decisions during airway assessment, intubation guidance, secretion management, and other clinical procedures.
A working channel extends the device beyond visualization by providing a route for suction, lavage, or tissue sampling. Suction can assist with secretion removal, lavage supports specimen collection, and sampling permits retrieval of tissue for examination. These functions allow one instrument to combine airway inspection with selected diagnostic or therapeutic tasks during the same procedure.
Single-use design removes the need to reprocess the instrument between patients. That can simplify clinical workflow, improve device availability, and reduce concerns associated with cross-contamination. The approach is particularly relevant when rapid access to bronchoscopy is needed, because a sterile, disposable device can be used without waiting for a previously used instrument to complete reprocessing.
Clinical use begins with selecting a sterile device and advancing its flexible insertion tube through the respiratory tract under camera visualization. The operator can inspect the airways, use the working channel for suction, lavage, or tissue sampling when indicated, and complete the intended assessment or intervention. Because the device is disposable, it is not reprocessed for another patient.
The device supports several clinical needs in operating rooms and intensive care settings, including airway assessment, secretion removal, intubation guidance, and specimen collection. Its availability can be valuable when clinicians need direct airway visualization or channel-based assistance during care. The same platform therefore serves diagnostic, procedural, and airway-management purposes rather than a single application.
Real-time images provide direct information about the airways during assessment or intervention, while the working channel can support secretion removal, lavage, or tissue sampling. Together, these capabilities can produce visual findings and collected specimens from the same procedure. The resulting information helps clinicians evaluate airway conditions and support diagnostic or therapeutic decisions in clinical care.
