Summary

Automatic Translation

Automatic Translation

The current protocol includes a methodology for the sorting and cleaning of age-matched populations of Caenorhabditis elegans. It uses a simple, inexpensive, and efficient custom-made tool to obtain a large experimental population of nematodes for research.
