Summary

Automatic Translation

The fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is widely used for biological and toxicological research. To expand the utility of flies, we developed an instrument, the serial anesthesia array, that simultaneously exposes multiple fly samples to volatile general anesthetics (VGAs), making it possible to investigate the collateral effects (toxic and protective) of VGAs.
